Hi, I hope I am posting this in the right place. Have a machine running NT4 SP6a. All working fine up until today. I installed ORACLE forms and now the machine will not boot up. From blue boot sequence screen the PC proceeds to the NT desktop page but there is no NT logo. Immediately it returns to the blue screen confirming a fatal error has occurred. Before I try a notmal repair on NT, I want to know if there is any dos software out there that will enable me to copy a file from my NTFS formatted c drive. I understand that DOS can only cope with FAT16. I am desperate to try and recover this file so any suggestions will be more than welcome. If I can only perform a repair, how do I go about it. Only have an NT4 main disk and SP6a upgrade (cannot boot from startup). If I perform a repair it will place NT4 basic files on my system again. I assume this will allow me access so that I can perform the upgrade to 6a again? Can I create an emergency repair disk on another NT machine and then use this for an emergency repair? Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks Si

Thanks for all your help. Uneraser worked great although in view only as it's $49.99 for full app. Ended up ditching the hard drive in another machine as a slave and managed to get my files. cheers for help again. Si

Thanks for both your replies. I will give it a try tomorrow and let you know how I got on. I have found a piece of software called uneraser (www.uneraser.com) which I will try aswell. Fingers crossed. Si
