DESPAIR! Contents of C gone??!
« on: February 04, 2008, 01:14:03 AM »
I was copying stackattack2 from it's lha archive using dopus and archdir, when suddenly all the contents of C: went missing!

I'm using an amiga4000 with sfs on a 8gb scsi disk(cybscsi.device). The boot partition is 1gb, it's the first partition on the drive.

I have os3.5 installed, and running opus magellan ii.

Is there any hope, or is it format and reinstall?? :-O

YEs, I used copy as when it happened. I tried it on my other amiga with a less critical folder, and the same happened there.

I'll take your advice, and see what I manage to restore.

I'm tempted to just clean reinstall the whole thing. But I need to backup some SCSI stuff first, so that I can get the CD-ROM online again.

I have a rescue disk with SFSSalv on, but that wasn't much help. It showed a lot of bad dirs. Between one of the bad dirs, and .recycle I can restore 47 of the many many files lost from C:
