Well I really did it up this time.
I took a hard disk boot program of a BBS (I think it was posted here
first) and installed it on my hard disk using the install program
that came with it. Now when I try to boot my ST I get 3 bombs and it
locks up. It was installed on the first sector on track 0 I think.

The program was HDBOOT.PRG and I have a supra ST -> SCSI board
connected to a micropolis 40 Meg hard drive with a Adaptek SC4000 scsi
controller,using supra's utilites to run with prior to my mistake.

I installed the HDBOOT program and renamed the supra boot program as
it said in the instructions and gave it a try (BOOOM).

Is it possible to get my hard disk back with out reformatting the whole
disk or does somebody have a program that will format just the boot
track.
Another words does anybody have a way to get my data back!!!! ,I got lazy
and have not done a backup in about 3 weeks and of course those
3 weeks have generated a lot of stuff on my disk.

!!!!!!! I NEED HELP !!!!!!!!

Thanx in advance.
