Christoff) Organization: Univ. of Pittsburgh, Comp & Info Services Lines: 13 I have PC/AT compatible machine with Seagate hard disk paritioned into drive C and drive D. I ran Norton speed disk for both drives and I was successful on drive C, and got message saying something like "incomplete....., run Norton Disk Doctor". Then, I ran Norton Disk Doctor on drive D. What happened was NDD was trying to read forever, and never return the control back to DOS. I had to turn off the machine after very very long time. After I turned on the machine again, drive D was bad. I cannot use it, and I cannot even get a directory on the drive D. How can I fix this problem? I hope I can recover something back from drive D. Any suggestion I can try?
