Rich,
	You have to first get booted up.  3.3 or otherwise, use the
floppy disk to boot up in 3.3.  Then run 3.3s backup utility on the
whole disk.  Then reformat the hummer.  You'll have problems untiol you
do.  I had a similar problem at coronet warrior III and this fixed it.
'course, I have very little data on the hard disk when this happened.
All of it was easily recoverable, so I jsut formated the hard drive with
3.3 and pressed.  Be careful.  Do you know how to <CTRL>-<ALT>-<INS> as
opposed to <CTRL>-<ALT>-<DEL>?
	That will call the monitor program.  give the monitor the "bf0"
command to "Boot Floppy 0" which is the A: drive.  Then you use the
thing like a floppy only system until you get the hard drive fixed.  If
you're real ambitious, you could also set the path for the hard drive
DOS for the backup, but you have to fix that again anyway when you
reformat the hard drive.  So it's best to just work off the floppy until
you get the hard drive reformated and DOS set up.
