I need to recover some data for a friend. Since he's pretty computer illiterate...and i couldn't get much info from him... This is what I have gathered from booting up the system:
SPECS: It's a 486 DX4/100 (wow i haven't seen these in a while), running on 16 RAM , a 400 GB HD.
OS: some version of MS DOS (he said...he doesn't know which version)
PROBLEM: the SYSTEM no longer recognizes the HD. I can hear the HD spinning up...the BIOS sees it...but it refuses to boot. When I did a FDISK and view the partition info... FDISK stated that it was now a NON-DOS PARTITION.
SOLUTION / IF ANY: Is there a way to get the system to boot up normally again...or better yet, what software can I use to recover the data?
