Title: What happened to my files?!
Post by: pan1k on October 15, 2007, 04:16:17 PM
Well here's a weird situation. I was transfering my files off my A1200's  2.5 HD by connecting it to my buddha flash. Assign was complaining that it couldnt find several directories on my Work: partition. I ignored it, copied my backups to my Games: partition and rebooted.

Work: had some read errors so I used QBTools and that is fine now, but indeed the drawers tht were missing in Assign: were gone! What could have happened?

I had connected my old A1200 HD which had wb3.1, work partitions just like my A4000.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated! All of my partitions are under 2GB.

How many partitions do you have? If I remember correctly, it doesn´t matter if the partitions are below 4GB, everything above that level (4GB) gets wrapped around to to the beginning of the disk..

Hmm.. one's about 250MB, the other 3 are about 1.5GB. How should I set the drive up? It's a 40GB. I got no manual for the buddha.... any advice is welcome!
