My brothers pc running 98SE fails to start, message that cannot find boot sector.
I have tried the following to no avail, can anyone make any more suggestions, thanks.
Unfortunately there are photos that have not been backed up and I therefore wish
to avoid a full repartion or format if I can.
I have tried loading boot files from 98 boot disk using commands researched on web:-
SYS c: and SYS a: c: both have returned bad command.
I have viewed partitions using fdisk and it says there are non, why this is the case
I have no idea as it has previously been working until this failure.
I have slaved it to my own, running xp pro and whilst device manager recognises the
HD, I cannot view it or even locate it outside device manager. Also a virus check
returned negative results.
is the hard drive damaged? could partitions be deleted in any way without knowledge
of user?
