Angry boot disk


Hi All,

I have a Intel Server Board SE7501WV2. It's a rack mounted server. About 20 minutes ago, I had a boot disk (before I accidentally formatted it ).

The server itself contains a cdrom drive but for whatever reason, it can't boot from it. So, i've been using this boot disk, which displays a menu and one option is "Boot from CDROM"... once i select that, the cd boots.

i wont go into details, but like i said, i did format the disk *kicking self here* ... does anyone recognize the software on this disk? i've been trying to google it and cant remember where i got the disk. it was about 3 years ago.

thanks in advance!

Hi, you could try to recover the formatted floppy with testdisk and PhotoRec.

Hope that helps, regards, Glenn
