After this if you boot your system with the startup disk of Windows 98, and then try to get information regarding the partition with the Fdisk.exe tool of MS DOS, you encounter another error message stating.

This causes inaccessibility of your system, and all the data stored in it. To get rid of these problems and to reclaim your data, one has to understand the cause of the problem first.

To resolve the first three hard disk related problems, and to reclaim your precious data after that, you'll need to seek help from your computer manufacturer. But if it is the file system of your hard drive that is damaged, then you'll need to format your hard drive and reinstall your operating system.
