I turned on my computer and instead of getting my usual Windows 98,
I got a "read error". Tried many times, but only got read error.  I was
eventually able to get a C prompt.  From the C prompt I could execute
DOS commands.  When I try to get into windows I still get the read
error.

I tried to reload windows, but I still get a "read error".  Seagate is
no help, they gave me several companies that could extract the data.

I have no idea of how to solve this problem.  Is there any software
out there that can help me extract the data on my drive (9.1 gig
seagate).
I have purchased a new 30.6 gig seagate drive.

Are there any other newsgroups more appropriate then the ones I have
addressed.

PLEASE HELP ME.  Thanks,

Fred.
