Recover Novell Volumes from HD

I have a Novell 4.10 Server with a WD Caviar 4.3GB Hard Drive (Boots to MSDOS 6.22). The drive is failing fast and of course no one backed it up. If I can get it to boot to DOS is there a utility to copy the novell partitions? It has the SYS Volume on this hard drive (no mirror)

This is going to be very tricky. I assume it had an OS2 partition... You might try to hook it up on a windows 2000 or linux workstation to see if you can copy and recover the data. If it won't boot novell this is probably one of the few options you have.

If you can recover your dos partition as well as Novell's one, you can use Captain Nemo to view (free version)/copy (you have to pay for it) your data, by simply mounting your Netware drive as a slave drive into a regular windows 95, 98, ME PC. Follow this link:
