Hard drive failure?

[Thomas]

45 is a SCSI error. If you rule out problems with the SCSI cable or termination, then there is a real hardware read/write error on the disk which the disk cannot repair itself.

The only thing you can do during backup is to ignore the read error and continue with the next block or file (depending on whether you make an image backup or a file backup).

I don't think that Amiga Explorer can ignore read errors.

http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/downloads/tsgui.lha can, but it runs on the Amiga and needs enough harddisk space on the Amiga to create the image file.

Check the version. The one from Aminet is too old.

All new features are hidden in the menu (press right mouse button).

It's the IDE drive, not the SCSI, because the SCSI drive runs on cyberscsi.device

Well, command 28 is HD_SCSICMD a.k.a. Direct-SCSI.

Is the drive bigger than 4GB? If not, I couldn't imagine a reason why SFS uses Direct-SCSI.

Is the drive bigger than 8GB? If it is, which software do you use to deal with the limit? SFS alone cannot do it.
