Hello all, I have just purchased Minix 1.3 from PH. The system configuration is a 6 MHz IBM AT. One 1.2 MByte floppy, a 20 MByte hard disk (type 2 - C:) and a 30 Mbyte hard disk (type 3 - D:). I just installed the 30 meg disk last night, intending on installing Minix on it and keeping DOS on the 20 meg disk. Well, I was playing around with Minix and created a 100 block empty file system on /dev/hd0. Apparently, this trashed the COMMAND.COM on C:, because I can no longer boot DOS from the hard disk (D: had been empty). Does anyone know if something like NORTON utilities can get at my files on the C: drive? I don't really care if I have to extract the files to D: and then reformat C:. Is there an easier way I can recover from this *stoopid* (sic) mistake?? -- Greg Larkin (ASIC Engineer) Viewlogic Systems, Inc. (The CAE Company) Marlboro, MA 01752
