Hello all
I feel silly that this happened to me since I thought I knew better.........

while copying Windows95 cab files to the harddrive using DOS, the computer was frozen for more then 3 minutes.  I have done this exact procedure more times then I remember but never had a computer stop like this.  the lights were on but there was no activity, and the cursor just blinked.  tried ctl-alt-del but no response.  turned the machine of and then back on, and it would not boot.  error message said "non-system disk".  used a boot disk to get in then did a DIR on the C drive.   the only thing listed was the C:\WIN95 directory I had just created and inside just the files that had copied over before I turned the machine on and off.   I have no idea what I did wrong.

since this wasn't supposed to be a complicated manuever, I don't have a backup of the client's data.  I'm hesitant to try anything else myself.  can anyone please suggest a way for me to recover any data on the harddrive?  TIA

:-)  peter
