A hard drive will still be recognized regardless of the file alocation table
(FAT). Check your BIOS configuration. The "FAT" is installed after hard
drive recognition... Fat16, Fat32, NTFS, Linux, I even saw a 2 gig hard
drive formated with Fat8 once, really! I used Norton UnFormat and was able
to recover my client's data.
A last resort, try the drive on another machine.

If I have a Hard drive that I can't access because I've some how lost the
FAT is there a way to at least re-write it. I've tried Fdisk but it comes
back with the error 'no fixed disk present' I've tried booting to floppy but
the boot disk assigns C as the ramdrive. Invalid media type message is the
closest to the drive as I can get. Is this drive a paper weight now?
