My KOT install has disappeared and won't boot.

It does sound like you toasted the Master Boot Record or the File Allocation Tables..or? naturally I am just guessing as usual.

Hopefully Lost and Found is the right approach. I have no experience with the program but it does sound like it will at least recover files.

The best solution would be to 'fix' the MBR or FAT ..restoring the drive to it's previous working condition. I do not know if L&F does that or if it just recovers files. It is probably in the documentation.

PowerQuest seems like a fried and foe (I caught the spelling error but decided to leave it<g>). Can not live without it but It looks like we have to learn the best way to live with it.

It sounds a little like my go around with PM. But a little more complicated...I only had an OS installation to preserve.

Do you have some free space on one of your drives that can be formatted FAT in case you need to restore files to a FAT partition?
