Well this is f'in great. I have a crappy IBM 60gb 60GXP that has once again crashed, this time taking out the boot sector. Damn IBM drives.
Anyways, the deal is that there are 3 partitions on it, each of 20GB size. Partition 1 and 3 read fine. Partition 2 can be mostly read in DOS and Win9x, but at some point it gives a file allocation table error. What I WANT to do is back up all the info I can possibly back up on that drive, BUT.........
This drive comes up as an unformatted, unknown file format drive in Windows 2000.
WTF
Why is this happening? Scandisk says that the FAT media something file is corrupt, and asks if I would like to repair it. I don't wish to do so in fear of losing the info on the partition.
I have tried to use xcopy to do it in DOS, but apparently my WinMe boot disk = no go for xcopy for some reason. It says its an unknown command.
I do not have access to the Win9x machine.
Whats the WinMe dos boot disk command for copying directories?
Even better, how can I get this partition to be visible in Win2k????
