I have an old 486SX machine
                       CYL  HD  LZ  Sec Size
Drive C is Fixed Disk  683  16   0  38  202   
Drive D is Fixed Disk 2484  16   0  63  222    
  
After long service the D: hard drive has packed up on me. 
When accessing D: I get error message ----
        Invalid media type reading drive D
        Abort, Retry, Fail?

What can I do to try and rescue the disk, before declaring it well 
and truly stuffed.

Thanks
