What no backups? Tsk Tsk Jen,  All you need to do is put a new drive in
install base OS and restore if you did....   Take a screwdriver and give
the drive a good thock.   That should tell it whose boss...

Hi gang -
 
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled Friday Night Horror
flick.....
 
    *crap*  Ok, so I have an NT4 test server for Siebel.  It's a mirror
of production and has been running fine for years.  It blue screened and
the Siebel admin rebooted the box.  It comes back up with Disk I/O
Error:  Status 00001000.  Then NTDetect runs detecting hardware.  It
comes back with the Disk Error and tells me, NTDETECT Failed.
 
    So, I have tried to boot from the NT4 CD, same thing happens.  Tried
to boot from a floppy disk, same thing happens, but I do get my A:
prompt.  But I can't get to my C: drive.  I ran FDisk, and I can see the
partitions are there.  But I can't access them, so I can't run scandisk.
The machine can see the drives, I can access them in the Adaptec SCSI
Utility.  I don't know *what's* going on with this box... so I'm hoping
that someone has recovered from this.  This is a box that I would like
to keep the OS intact if possible.  I can't even rebuild it yet, but can
if that's necessary.
 
    The box is a POS black box edition... no vendor, piecemeal parts.
Dual PIII 850s with 1G of RAM.
 
Thanks,

Jen
