Title: Lost HD partitions
Post by: swift240 on March 26, 2007, 05:52:58 PM
Hi all,
I am realy stuck on this one.
I reformated my HD yesterday a 20Gig HD.
Main SYS 2.0gig WOrk 1.9Gig other 8 partitions 1.9gig.
Now I have put back on OS3.9 with 4xIDE software.
But I can no longer see my other 8 partitions each at 1.9gig and no longer my IDE Zip drive unit.
I cant see what is wrong.
I have gone to the Tools/HDToolbox and I see a 19Gig HD but only 2 partitions one at 2.0 SYS: other Work at 1.9 gig and thats it.

How on earth can I get them back?

When I first put on Workbench 3.1 and 4xIDE then all partitions Including my IDE Zip 100 drive unit can be seen and accessed. But as soon as a full Install of OS3.9 goes then the other 8 partitions can not be seen and are not seen by Tools/HDToolbox
Yes I did put back on 4xIDE on to try to see my other 8 partitions Including my IDE ZOp100 but still no luck.

TIA,

Mike.

Change SetPAtch QUIET into SetPatch QUIET SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" in startup-sequence. Then switch off the computer (a reset is not enough).

If it still does not work, please run Check4GB (http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/check4gb) and post its output here.

Bye,
