When I got several soft errors on my hard disk, I ran the
surface analysis option of a formatter program on the disk.
But when I got out of the formatter, I found that the entire
disk have been erased!!!
I have tried the DOS RECOVER command and Norton Utilities 3.0
both were unable to recover any of my files.
Is there any way to recover the hard disk contents?
Also, do most disk formatter programs format your hard disk
even though you only use their diagnostic features?
Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
