We have some IBM AT's. One of the hard disks just crashed with a "1790 -
Disk 0 Error". We were about to make backups of the last week's work
when the crash happened: we have lost some important data. Is there any
way to 1. fix this error without reformatting the disk or 2. recover
some of the files before reformatting?

Thinking evil thoughts about the color blue,
