Here is a simple way to determine exactly what damage was caused and
whether it is fixable (involves use of a commercial product [$19.95]
but diagnostics can be done with the free demo).
Download BootMaster (http://bootmaster.filerecovery.biz) and execute
the install file to create a rescue disk (you will need one 1.44 MB
floppy).
Boot the system from the rescue disk. At the menu select item 7
(BootMaster Diagnostics). Select Drive 2 and "Normal" mode at the
dialogs. The diagnostic scan will create the text file
"A:\BMD00.TXT".
You can paste that file into your reply and also copy to
support@filerecovery.biz. I should be able to tell you whether it is
fixable and the best approach.
Regards,
Bob
