Hello all,

Looking for ideas, recommendations, etc.

I previously posted several days ago regarding my drive getting hosed
(Seagate 20gig Baracuda FAT32 on a Win98SE box). The FAT or MBR got
corrupted somehow, where a few of the directories (like c:\windows) vanished
and 7 files with ascii 128 names (like Ç Ç Ç Ç .Ç Ç), with a total size of
the HD (the total HD capacity, not space used), are now in the root dir.
Fortunately, only a handful of directories vanished and I can recover most
datafiles and such. Funny thing is, I have reletively recent backups of the
pertinent directories that didn't vanish, so if I had lost any of those it
wouldn't be a biggie. I have recent backups of most of the dirs that
vanished, but a couple of them I hadn't backed up in a few months (like my
directory that contains my email folders (inbox, etc.) and a dir with some
video captures). I bought a new Western Digital drive for the box and
pulled the problem Seagate.

So my question is, anyone have any ideas, recommendations, etc. for
repairing the corrupted file system and/or recovering the files/directory
structure on the funky Seagate? I would be thrilled to at least recover my
inbox directory since there are some business emails in there since the last
backup.

Thanks
