Sorry if a blank mail came though, darn webmail.
I have a 1400 with a 20 gig HD, the drive isn't booting.
I thought at first it was not spinning up but now that I've had a
chance to take a look at it it might just have the boot sectors
damaged.
What options do I have for rebuilding the boot sectors without
losing the HD contents?
Start off the system CD, use Drive setup to re-install the drivers?
I think that should work.

I think OS 9 drive Setup would insist on initializing. Thus wiping
out the content.
But a try at using the installer to install just the Os may also fail
if the disk cannot be read or the remaining format can't be latched
onto.
IIRC of course.
