Have you tried any of these simple ones? Hope the HD is restored at the DOS or GUI stage of the Windows boot sequence.

DON'T try them if you do NOT know what they do! please...

- "boot to DOS" in shutdown menu.
- Pressing F8 (or F4) at boot while "loading Windows 98..."
- MSDOS.SYS:
-> BootKeys=1 -or-
-> BootMulti=1 -or-
-> BootGUI=0
- create an empty WIN.BAT in c:\windows\ (batch files are executed before .com and .exe)

When you are at plain DOS prompt Loadlin should work. Don't ask me how to invoke it...

There are more, as always...
