Leonard,
	A rogue program apparently trashed the beginning of my HD
(Micropolis 1335 70MB) because (a) the system won't boot from it and (b)
any attempt to access it is met with "Invalid drive specification".  The
drive was originally formatted and partitioned (32M, 32M, 6M) with
SpeedStor.  Do you know of a way to recover without losing data?  Thanks.
