Comment: ALL:
I'm looking for an OS/2 Lifesaver if there is one. I have an installation of OS/2 4 on a workstation that has been running fine for over a year (!! Yep !) Today it rebooted and now displays "Current Drive is C:" on a black screen. This appears right after the blue logo screen. It never moves from this prompt and I cannot access drive c from a boot floppy or command line. Any of the recovery choices responds with "..cannot access your floppy or hard drive.." and halts at that prompt with a constant beep. I have data on this drive I would love to recover. Suggestions would be appreciated! Douglas Harris

Reply: (edit)Hi, That's appear from some problem during the "chkdsk". Maybe a harddisk failure. With recovery tries you did? Perry.

Reply: (edit)Sounds like a diskdrive controller problem. Check your bios settings. You may need to use a add-on controller card to access the drive. To do this you'll need to disable the PCs built in controller in the BIOS. You could also try the HD in another PC. Good luck.
