Greetings fellow FreeBSD users,

	Even though this might not be fully FreeBSD related, I'd figure
maybe someone would know what I can do exactly.

Well, in the morning, when I turned my machine back on yesterday, there
was a flame on the circuit board of the 4th hard drive so that wasn't the
problem so I just took the drive out and booted FreeBSD Unix then when I
got home, it was still working and then the computer froze...  So when I
reboot to Win95, it doesn't let me boot the drive and kept reading Drive
A: so I booted from floppies and used fdisk, it showed the drive with no
partitions at all and having 100% of the physical space on the drive free. 
Norton Disk Doctor didn't find any partitions at all and I used Norton
Disk Edit and then selected Advanced Recovery Mode and selected the
physical drive Hard Disk 1 and then hit Virtual and it can see the entire
directory structure of the DOS Partition so is there any way I can recover
the data to another hard drive using Disk Edit or any other utility?
Thanks in advance.
