The drives are jumpered correctly and also correctly ID'd in bios.  My boot
up disk is for W98(fat 32) .  The drives are formatted in Fat 32.   I was
able to "view" the drive with DrivePro and the files are there.  The boot
sector is invalid.  The MBR, Fat and partition tables seem to be OK as well.
DrivePro will only allow using it's Sector Editor on Fat 32 and I don't have
the knowledge to use it.

thanks, Edna Sloan

Some drives use No Jumpers as a single drive setting. The thing you might
do is if you have Norton Utilities you might use DiskEdit to look at the
drive. DiskEdit will look at the drive at a physical level and you can see
if the data really does exist. One thing to be aware of is that the drive
has to be configured correctly in CMOS IE LBA turned on and working
correctly. Altho its possible you got a virus from the Segate utility it is
HIGHLY Unlikely if you downloaded it from the Seagate site. Another thing
to consider is that if you boot from a win95A disk and you are running OSR2
or 98 (FAT 32) your not going to be able to see the drive with any utility
correctly as the drive will have the wrong geometry to be accessible.
