SCSI partition table.

[crisp82]

Hi,
I am house-sitting for my sister and her fiance, and I wanted to check my e-mail, but when I turned on their computer (a 3 disk SCSI hunk-a-junk) It came up with 'Invalid Partition Table', after trying to boot from 2 disks. I don't know that much about SCSI, but it told me that there are 2 Ultra ATA disks. It reads the first and says BIOS Installed, and tries to read the other, but can't, so says Bios Not Installed, then 'Invalid Partition Table'.

In fear that I caused this (which I doubt as I just turned it on!), I would like to fix it before they return. How can this be done?

Thanx

"Bios not installed" means that there is no boot partition on the scsi drive.
The 2 ATA drives means that those are IDE, not SCSI.

If the SCSI drive is definately the boot drive, the invalid partition table error means you're screwed! Leave the house as fast as you can! Or you may not get away with enough body parts to have a "happy" marriage! :Q

Damn!!! Thanx for the advice, guess I'll have to hope that I didn't break it!!!

Is the data recoverable?
