I am running (was) FreeBSD 3.0-970502 on a 500 meg IDE hard drive , as drive 0. I had a 116meg DOS drive in as drive 3. Today I was installing windows on the drive and noticed the DOS on it was old so i stuck in a dos 6 disk and started setup. I hit enter to continue setup, so on , it told me to wait and to my astonishment without asking me started formatting C: which wasnt desirable for the DOS drive or my FBSD drive. It got to about 2000 bytes before i hit reboot. Now my fbsd partition and drive info is toast and I would really like to save it if possible . I do not know the exact size of each partition. All I know for sure is the whole disk was for FBSD. Im running off of fixit.flp until I can get an answer. Thanks
