It would have been better to ask the comp.sys.ibm.pc people, but
here's what they'll say:

Buy Mace Utilities or borrow it from a friend.  It has a utility that
is specifically designed to recover from such things.  I also believe
that the newest Norton Utilities has such a beast, but I cannot
confirm this at the moment.
