Dave Haynie's DiskSalv version 11.32

[T3000]

I noticed in the description that Dave Haynie's DiskSalv version 11.32 works with 2.04/2.1/3.0 file systems. Does this also work on 3.5 fs and 4.3 gig drives?

I seem to have some difficulties running this program, mess things up to the point of reformat...  Would the comercial version of the program be worth the investment or would buying os 3.9 for my legacy systems be a better choice?

---- Neko----  4GB support, no way. It'll screw up on anything across that boundary, usually by corrupting the RDB and everything at the beginning of your disk.
------------

Even if the drive is formatted out to 3.8 gigs and partitioned into 5 smaller ones?    I have a 50mg boot and three 1gig and a 4th 700mg or so partitions.


This is a new drive (in 2000, the machine has been rarely used in the last few years) and I do belive the SCSI termination and such is correct. One scsiHD internal, external 100mgZip drive and a Scanner. in that order.

The HD has been formatted using HDInstTools 6.9   as the HDtools with os3.5 is "Unable to read drive configuration".

Thanks for the info. I dled checkHD, ran it and it claims everything is OK.

The install instructions that come with os3.5 states "with support for drives over 4 gig". It amazes me that the product "IMHO" was released imcomplete. ie lacking HD recovery and maintenance tools speciffic for 3.5. or even stating that one should format fresh for 3.5 install instead of just updating the OS.     bad Petro, bad!
