Hullo,

Just filled my audio partition and now I get 'disk not validated'
messages whenever I try to delete anything.

Can someone reccommend a non-destructive way to rescue this?

Scandisk? (Noting that you posted in the Alternative OS section...)

@itix:

Btw. I recall you have pre-april Pegasos 1?

Bugger - I'm not sure. I thought I had one with the april fix but maybe not.
I got it through the 'phoenix' offer, if that timeline means anything.

Needless to say, I'm a tad miffed. :-/

Have you tried mounting the drive under WinUAE?

This is going from bad to worse. I think I killed the drive when I moved it, as I can't get anything at all from it now. That might also explain why nothing showed up on the A1.

I have a 2nd drive in my peg. It's an old 10gig one which used to be my boot drive.
When I got my new drive, I moved the old one to the middle of the cable and used the new one to boot from.

I've now managed to get my peg to boot, from the MOS cd but only when I move the old drive to the end of the cable.
If the CD is not in the tray, the MorphOS logo comes up but then I get a black screen.

Is there any easy way I can check if my drive is dead and is there anyway to retrieve data from it?

There are professional data recovery companies who can recover the data from the drive.
