Well, in the morning, when I turned my machine back on yesterday, there was a flame on the circuit board of the 4th hard drive so that wasn't the problem so I just took the drive out and booted FreeBSD Unix then when I got home, it was still working and then the computer froze... So when I reboot to Win95, it doesn't let me boot the drive and kept reading Drive A: so I booted from floppies and used fdisk, it showed the drive with no partitions at all and having 100% of the physical space on the drive free. Norton Disk Doctor didn't find any partitions at all and I used Norton Disk Edit and then selected Advanced Recovery Mode and selected the physical drive Hard Disk 1 and then hit Virtual and it can see the entire directory structure of the DOS Partition so is there any way I can recover the data to another hard drive using Disk Edit or any other utility?
