Once you can boot from a drive with the setpatch updates, you should be able to see all partitions. I take it you didn't make a recovery diskette, no? That will allow the use of the newest setpatch and the CD-Rom and graphics drivers, making recovery much easier. Worst case scenario you can juggle a few floppies and put a recovery disk together yourself using CrossDOS and a PC, provided you have an old Workbench 3.0/3.1 floppy floating around...
