My PC is a 550 mh 256 k memory desktop with Win98 SE and has worked perfectly til now. I have a 20 g hard drive divided into partitions C, D, E, F and G and a CD RW drive at partition I. A couple of days ago partitions F, G, and I have disappeared without a trace and can no longer be accessed. Also the A drive 3.5 floppy cannot be accessed. Everything on the C D and E drives works fine. I now have the problem that I cannot load through the CD RW drive or the A floppy, so the Windows CD and the Rescue Disk upon A do not work. What happens if I reformat the hard drive (I have backup CD's)? Will I then be able to access the a drive to use the recue disk? Is there I way to get the CD RW drive to work?Any suggestions will be appreciated. I think that somehow a Win driver or drivers have become corrupted, and now I am afraid that the C D and E drives may also disappear, leaving me wiped out.
