Hi all,
My 1200's hard drive seems to have scrambled itself for no apparent reason -- I was copying a bunch of files from one partition to another, and when it finished doing that, I got a checksum error on DH0... I then rebooted, only to get the message that DH0 was not a DOS disk! :-( And, on further investigation, *all* of my partitions had become invalid. :-( :-( :-( I've tried re-installing my RDB from a backup, but HDtoolbox crashes whenever I try this. It's a 20GB drive so maybe it's getting confused somehow, even though it's the OS 3.5 HDtoolbox. I can't do anything with the drive in the 3.5 toolbox until I use the 3.1 HDtoolbox to set up a new RDB. So what I've done at this point is set up one big partition and let disksalv go at the whole drive in salvage mode to try and get the files back. This seems to work, it picks up lots of files, but crashes when I try to actually salvage them off to another drive! I tried QuarterBack tools as well but it dies 3% into looking for files!! :-x
Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I could try? I've got all of the important stuff backed up off that drive, but I'd hate to lose everything anyway.. I do have my Miami key on there and I don't think it's anywhere else, and I'd hate to lose that!
