[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 412219, member: 9512"] I know shanky, I've stripped a few. It's not a read head failure, it's not a platten motor failure, it's not a read head motion motor fail. The boot & recovery partition has become corrupt. The issue is that it is not a "normal" PC. It uses FAT16, & NTFS, it has a BIOS, it uses DOS (6.21) and NT 4.0, it is to all intents and purposes a PC, but, it has a "special" BIOS, and does not behave like a normal PC. OK, I get that, but the client won't do it, because they can't. We will have two back up's of the system, once it's going again. They won't pay me to go there regularly to check a disk in their safe! In theory, a disk in the safe should not change... Once I get it sorted, this issue will never happen again, plus I will, have a solution for this sort of control when I come across it again!
