Hi all.. (and Happy New Year!)

I need help with a disk went bad... I was running DNET and was doing some
other stuff at the time, and I gurued something the nice way (the Task
Held requester did come up)... I don't think DNET was the one that gurued,
most likely an IFF viewer I was fiddling with..

Anyway. I tried to reboot after I saved my stuff, not the disk is not
bootable anymore!  It gurus every time I try to boot it up, even before
reading the preferences. (gives me a guru 8700000B.265F48F1, which I have
NO idea what means, just something related to DOS)

I tried VirusX to see maybe I got 'infected', but it gurus every time it
attempts to read the bootblock...

My question is, is there any way I can recover my stuff on there? I have
an A500 w1meg, 1.3 ROMs, 1.3 WB.. Is there a program I am overlooking that
would let me recover it, or maybe reformat the bootblock only? I tried
INSTALLing the disk, but alas, it gurued..

Thanks.
