I am having major problem with a computer...

Okay.. for some apparent reason, running a program, it wiped out the
harddrive.. now i need to reinstall everything..
here's the problem..

The Cmos setting screwed up the harddrive type and i cannot get it to
recognize it at all!

Here's the scoop.. i need to know the specs of the following hard drive:

NEC Model #D3142  (68meg formatted)
P/N # 134-500558-669
S/N # 9040807815
Date: 10, 1990

Does anybody know the specs of this particular drive? (i.e. LZone, etc.)..
I run an AMI BIOS motherboard.. 386 33mhz..

I need to know this fast.. as time is running short.  IF anyone can help me
out by know the drive type specs please email me as soon as possible.  Or if
you know the number of NEC where i can call to get this info, that would be
appreciated as well.. Thanks so much!
