Hard drive failure?
« on: August 03, 2013, 11:06:43 AM »
I've had some hard drive issues in the past, but I was kind of able to fix them. Now I've made backups through Amiga Explorer of all partitions (so I have .hdf files of all) but one.
That one is a games partition, not the most important, but it would be nice if I can fix this.
I can backup until about 70%, then it stops. Is there something I can do about this, when I boot up I get this message (see attachment).
All other partitions on the same drive work fine, so it might be a configuration problem? Once all partitions were gone, I've managed to get them back through HDToolBox, re-entering all data partition by partition.

The image is because of the scandoubler, I'm still looking for a solution for my FlickerMagic that misses the cable :(

It's the IDE drive, not the SCSI, because the SCSI drive runs on cyberscsi.device
I think I do have TSGui, just didn't know it could do harddrives as well.

I don't know at the moment, I tried TSGui but it wants to have the full size of the partition (which is 2gb) free on another drive. I don't have it.
There was only about 250mb of files on that partition, so I copied it into another folder of another partition, seems like everything is ok now.

It's not my installation, it's what came with the A4000. I don't want to use this harddrives anymore, I'd like to store them in a safe place and work with the backups I ran.
