- If you can use fdisk to *write* to the bad disk, and you have a hardcopy of
- your partition information, you might be able to run fdisk, repartition your
- HD *exactly* the way it was before, reboot, and everything shoudl be as it
- was. Trouble is, when a HD goes like this, usually the whole track (0) is
- gone. :( That means anything else that was there (including your boot
- sector, and part of your inode table as well) might be gone.
