The best thing I can think of is NDD /Rebuild (Norton Utilities) that will
find any partitions on the drive and will also fix the boot record. if the
disk has gone physically bad then there are no solutions to resolve this
save for data recovery by a company such as drive savers or such. My moms
system lost the boot record last week for some unknown reason. turned it
off in the AM and that eve it wouldn't boot. NDD saves the day again!
