We have a 30 Mb Seagate RLL hard disk which has a blown track 0 on it. Does anyone know of any way to recover the data from this drive? Thanks in advance, Ed Friedman INTERNET: ed@zaphod.uchicago.edu BITNET: friedman@uchicago.bitnet

It may be a chore from a floppy drive, but not as bad as restoring your data from what you remember if other methods fail. 2) From your original DOS diskette, do a SYS C: in an attempt to resore the trashed system files. Then copy COMMAND.COM back onto C: Back up. 3) If you can get a copy of Spinrite or Nortons, either one may be able to recover the bad sectors or to move the data. Then back up. That's all I can think of..... -ted- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ted@helios.ucsc.edu |"He has showed you, O man, what is good; and what does the W (408)459-2110 |Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness H (408)423-2444 |and to walk humbly with your God?"
