As Thomas said you can try modifying the CD driver on the Emergency CD to match your CD's "something.device" and unit number etc. 1st

However that might not work if the DOSdriver on the E-Disk is not compatible with the "something.device" that your CD expects (if it expects a particular one). i.e. Modifying, say, a CacheCDFS CD0 driver and using it with, say, a CD expecting gvpscsi.device may not work. In that case if you know where the "something.device" is and the related DOS driver for your CD (on an install floppy maybe) you can put those on the E-Disk ("something.device" in Devs/ and CD0 or whatever in Devs/DOSdrivers). I think that's right, if not I'm sure someone will let me know! :-)

Apart from this, if you only did a QUICK format on the IDE drive, if you have any disk recovery software on bootable floppy there is a good chance you could just recover the system using that?
