Aloha,
When you start the machine, it will come up to the C:\ prompt, and
the directory listing shows COMMAND.COM and a couple of other
hidden/archive/read-only files.
Sounds to me like "format C: /s" was typed.
If that is true then the data may be recoverable. "format c: /s"
formats and copies the system files to the hard drive. Adding the '/u'
switch makes the data unrecoverable. I do not know how to 'undo'
the format but M$ says it can be done.
I thought microsoft ripped the unformat thing out in Win95 (DOS 7)?

Good Luck!
Don't know how to help tho, sorry.
If I'm not mistaken , unless the /q options is used, the drive is zero'd
sector by sector, so I think this is a tougher problem then one might
expect.
