disk image backup/recovery

[DonRotolo]

I am wildly speculating here, so smack me back if you know better.

It looks like the first several bytes of E:\ were erased. If you only could reconstruct that h200 bytes of data, the drive should resurrect, right? Well, *might* come back, anyway.

Any chance to find another drive, format it about the same way, and copy those bytes over to E:\? Or research what it *should* have in there and recreate it?

Someone, somewhere, can recover data that's been written over once. Investigate that for data recovery. Maybe that's too CIA for us mere mortals though.

Or call it a day, recreate what you can, and let it fade as a bad memory. No pun intended.
