I seem to recall that a few months back there was a discussion going on h
about the JCLOCK init and the way that it seems to destroy hard drives.  Well,
these things never come to mind until after the fact, eh?

The ONLY thing I did differently was adding JCLOCK to the system folder of my
hard drive, and the system booted up nicely, ran for a few minutes, and
promptly told me my hard disk did not exist (in a manner of speaking).  Now the
disk saver utility won't correct my disk (although it recognizes it and calls
it by its given name.)

Yes, I'm backed up, but not as immediately as I wish I were.  How can I save
my disk without initializing the whole thing (as my computer seems so anxious
to do every time I boot up on a floppy)?  Any advice?
