Hi, I received a Pentium Pro server with Win NT 4.0 installed. It had a password and 2 IDE hard disks, one was disconnected. I made a mistake connecting one hard drive to Windows XP machine. I could see all the files, but something happened and now neither the server nor Windows XP machines can see the partitions on the disk. How can I restore it?

I would use a Linux boot disc or USB drive, make an image of them use fdisk or gparted, make sure the first partition is bootable.

There are no USB ports. I tried Hirens Boot CD, but many of the programs were not working - not enough RAM. Also, there are 2 IDE hard disks, but nothing sees them (BIOS does, but when booting from DOS or similar floppy there are no HDDs visible). Maybe because WinNT uses different file system?

Maybe because > WinNT uses different file system? DOS won't see contents of NTFS partitions, but does FDISK see the IDE discs? Not suggesting you edit the partitions, just see if they are visible for a start.
