Guest MEB Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Discussion was originally entitled Computer failure - 02/19/2008, poster BAP, in this discussion forum. The discussion spread to two other computers and issues with those, their operating systems and other. I have split that discussion into new separate discussions with headings for the individual potentials/issues. Please keep these discussions separated. Background, the Microtime computer had been running Windows 98SE until the computer started to fail. Presently diagnostic routines are being run through to attempt a recovery. This discussion concerns data recovery from the Microtime's hard disk and potential issues with an older computer, BIOS, and Windows 3.1/DOS limitations.. The Microtime hard drive was previously determined to have a boot manager installed upon it. A work-around was apparently used to bypass that manager [see Microtime discussion for reference] ------ MEB: 3. What is the size of the C drive that is found [is it the actual drive]? BAP: **** If you are referring to the Microtime, that is the one I just commented on. The Risys was about 4GB. (I need to check on that). **** -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com _________

As indicated, this will likely be the one to use for the Microtime's OS disk data recovery. | | "MEB" wrote: | | > Discussion was originally entitled Computer failure - 02/19/2008, poster | > BAP, in this discussion forum.

Master HD. The problem, I thought, would have been of what to do with the Data in that HD if it were possible to get to it. I would have had to install a writeable CD-ROM ad appropriate software or see if I could resurrect the original Tape Backup that used Travan Tapes and DITTO Tools. Anyway, see my post/reply forthcoming today on the progress with the Sony's Computer.
