I really need to recover some VERY important files on my FreeBSD partition... I have Windows NT, Win95, and FreeBSD currently running on my system, each on a separate partition. My Win95 partition was recently infected by a certain "natas.mp.1823" virus. I booted from a clean DOS floppy to remove it, but failed... the result being that except for my 95 partition, the NT, and the FreeBSD partition are lost...since the MBR is destroyed. I ran Norton Disk Doctor, and it recovered by NT partition. But it did not detect or recover my FreeBSD partition. I tried running fbsdboot.exe, but the error was " could not find /kernel " . I tried many boot managers, but none detected the FreeBSD partition. I have my project due to 2 weeks. If ANYONE can give me ANY information that might just recover some of my files from the FreeBSD partition, it would be a great help.
