Hello world,

After trying to change the partions of my harddisk (and maybe do something
which broke the harddisk) my computer doesn't recornize the harddisk anymore.
When I type fdisk the computer responds with "no fixed drives present".
Putting the drive in config.sys gives "loading external driver" or something
like that, but when I type C: it responds with a "Reading error drive c:
Abort, Retry, Ignore?".
Is this a software problem or hardware and if it's the hardware: is it the
controllercard or could it be the drive itself?
Please E-mail me, I will summarize to the newsgroup.

Thanks for your help,
Jack
