Do you have any backups at all?

Is this a workstation for Oce, Reprodesk?

If you get this fixed you should have had a image of the drive on hand ... NT4 was released back in 1994, thats nearly 15 years ago.

I understand that you can't upgrade the computer due to the hardware that it attaches to. But you should have a backup clone of the drive, also you should have a second identical PC, for when that one dies. .. and yes it will.

I was in the same situation

Since there is no safe mode there is not alot you can do, also support for NT4 expired in 2000 or so.

You will most likely need to bite the bullet and buy a updated workstation from your OEM. If you get a computer with win 2000 + you can use acronis + universal restore to image and restore that computer to a replacemnt dissimior computer in the future.
