That's a BIOS error; your computer is not finding anything to try to boot from.

recognized by the system
What makes you say that?

Try reinstalling grub to the MBR.

PHP Code:

#installgrub /boot/grub/satge1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
connot open/stat device /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2 

here is the output of fdisk
PHP Code:

#fdisk /dev/rdsk/c0d0p0

       
Total disk size is 9729 cylinders
             Cylinder size is 16065

i asked for help in other forum and after several checks and replies we concluded that
fdisk partitions are lost
now i want to recreate the fdisk partitions new and access the data which should be still on the disk .
any idea regarding this
