I was using Norton Utilities v5.0 to optimize my hard disk. This went
very well.

The next morning, however, i discovered that my PC would't boot up from
hard disk. I was really terrified for a while, but I finally managed to
boot from a floppy. 

I have tried several solutions for making my hard disk bootable again.
The most obvious solution was to use NUs "Make disk bootable"-function.
However, this didn't work.

I think my system files are corrupted somehow. How can I repair this ?

I am using a SPERRY IT (AT-compatible) with MS-DOS 3.1.

Do I have to reformat my hard disk again ?. In that case, may I reformat
one partition only, leaving the D: drive as it is ? Can I boot from D: ?
