On my machine you could access it by hitting one of the F-keys on boot up. If you've messed around with your partitions you have probably lost reference to it though even though it's not deleted. Might be able to restore it using some kind of partition reference recovery tool.

Personally I use DriveImageXML and BartPE to image/restore my harddrive. Both are free.

Hi TM-Scotland

To access the recovery process on a Advent T9103 press F10 repeatedly at startup, but first hun i would test the drive with the HGST Drive Fitness Test Utility and if it's ok then proceed with the recovery. The HGST Utility is available as a floppy disk or bootable CD file from > Here Note most Advent 19103s have an Hitachi HDD.
