Thanks. > Allen If you have a boot disk for an operating system (preferably an os that is on your machine...), a partition table editor, and the specs of your former partition table: you can recover your entire system by restoring your partiontion table. If you used FIPS or a comercial partitioner to make your partitions, you should be able to run a restore program... If you can't to either of those, you need to: 1) Read up a bit on Hard Drives 1.5) Calculate the specs for your partition table by hand 2) Get some sort of boot disk from a friend or, if you chose a good operating system, the tech support 3) Manually re-enter the partition table OR: Get professional help. jtkipp@students.wisc.edu
