I have an AT&T 6300 with an ST-225 and Adaptec controller that has suddenly
refused to boot from the hard disk because it seems to believe that C: is
D:.  Apparently the boot process gets as far as reading config.sys since
error messages like "C:\BIN\ANSI.SYS NOT FOUND" and "C:\COMMAND.COM NOT
FOUND" appear.  If I boot from a floppy and then select C:, I get "GENERAL
DISK FAILURE".  However, if I select D:, I can see and access all the files
on the drive (which is really C:).  What is likely to have gone wrong and
how can I correct it?
