Epsylon3, please heed my warning before using any of the aforementioned utilities: If your fat table is damaged, changing the fat table will most likely *COMPLETELY* destroy any data on the volume. Use the RDISK utility in WinNT or Win2K (Start / Run / Rdisk) if you can to create a backup of all NTFS boot records and fat tables, then boot with the installation CD and choose to repair the existing installation. It will ask you for your RDISK info, which you will have on the floppy you created. You should be able to recover most, if not all of your data, and you won't even have to reinstall the OS. If you cannot even get into the OS, try a program called NTFS4DOS from www.nttoolkit.com . Copy this to a bootable Dos or Win9x floppy, and you should be able to mount and read files from your NTFS volume(s). It is read only access, but you can copy files to another partition for retrieval later.
