Subject: Re: Lib.HD problem - FDISK=no fixed disks present
Hi everyone (and a special hello to the chickens!)
Thanks to everyone who has posted re my hard drive problem.
I ran FDISK (from A: and C:) and get the message "no fixed disks present"
C:DIR reports "volume in drive C is MS-RAMDRIVE"
So, I checked myself into a new place with aircon and a 'fridge in the room
(luxury!) but unfortunately am still unable to get any sign of life from the
real C drive (even though this *is* something I *do* have previous
experience of - I successfully retrieved a vital file, modified since last
backup, from the 20Mb ;-) hard drive of an Amstrad 1640, about 10 years
ago; isn't technological advance a wonderful thing - I can use a *much*
smaller 'fridge now!)
Does this narrow it down to a hardware problem?
Is there any possibility it could be caused by something as simple as a bad
connection which I might be able to locate if I investigate further?
What is the concensus in respect of me ever seeing my data again?
As always - thanks for any and all thoughts/comments/suggestions
Sincerely... Steve
