Hi there folks, (this is a copy of the latest posting in this thread from the S/W forum), copied here since it now refers to a hard disk problem.
well I'm not so sure that increasing the stack size did really help, because I am now getting a different system error.
My hard drive is partitioned :-
dh0: system 25M
start cylinder 1
end cylinder 156
dh1: work 136M
start cylinder 157
end cylinder 979
After switching on my 1200 the other night my hard drive booted but "whirred" for a long time and I rxd. a system error message:-
Work has a checksum error on block 39179
and when I try to access any programs on Work i get another system message:-
volume Work is not validated
If I click cancel on this message about three times I can usually access the prgram I was after.
Also if I double click on the Work icon or use DW to examine Work the info bar indicates a volume which is full at 136m which I know is not the case.
I have used HDToolbox, Verify data on drive option but this just comes back with no errors found.
I have also looked at the Modify bad block option but I am not sure how to convert the block (39179) with the checksum error into the format used in this option i.e.
cylinder =
head =
sector = OR bytes from Index =
The drive in question is a WD caviar lite 170
I'm not sure why the HD Toolbox can't find any errors on the drive or even if I can enter the data for the bad block in the correct format it will resolve the problem.
Any help with using HD Toolbox or validating Work or this problem in general much appreciated.
Ian.
