Title: recovered files unrecornized by Amiga
Post by: ElZorro on November 02, 2007, 03:18:16 PM

Hello Miggy's

I have got a problem.

My harddisk crashed. Left it on the shelf for a while and finaly found a very nice man who was willing to try a recovery! (thank you thank you..!) He uses a PC btw.
He found some files which he put in a RAR file. I unpacked them on my PC and used a amiga formated disk to put it thrue Crossdos back on the Amiga1200.
It contains some Octamed modules, this is what I tried to open on the Amiga. But it said "Unrecornized file, load as and old ST-song?" It is the only option (besides cancel) and then the file is loaded as scrambled unplay able something.

:boohoo:

Can anyone explane me how to change the file information from these files, so I can put them without any trouble from the recoverd PC list, to the amiga, change the id-information so it will work on an Amiga???

any one, please?

Recovery software can only do so much, and if there's a (physically) bad sector right on top of the file then the chances are the it's corrupt.

Put one sample file online. Maybe it's just SQSH'd or something equally obvious...

I do not hope the files r 2 corrupted, otherwise they r lost anyway!

Unrecornized file

Weird that the Octamed programmer dude was bent on corn domination of the music world.;-)

No quite following you!?!?

Piru checked it out for me.
It was all mixed up because of the recovering.
Just like a jigsaw puzzle but then the wrong way made!

I will ask the recover-man to make something better out of it....
