Partition Recovery Guide
So you have been hit by CIH - tough luck - let's see if we can help you out of there. First of all, boot your PC with a system disk. If the PC was using FAT-32 ( it i always the case if you have partitions bigger than 2 GB on Win 95 or Win 98), you must boot from a Win 95 OSR 2 or Win 98 installation disk. Norton Utilities' recovery disks are ideally suited to the task. We'll assume you have them, or if you choose to use another disk editor, I'll assume that you know what you do.
The damage inflicted by CIH is simple : the first 2048 sectors of the drive is overwritten with garbage. If the drive has 63 sectors per track, the corruption will begin on track 0 and end in the middle of track 31
