A game I wanted to play wasn't showing up in workbench.  I was sure that I installed it so I ran Dopus to make sure and it showed up.  I had never run it before so I tried to delete it so I could reinstall it when I got this error message.

Device DH1:
ALERT:
Wrong dirblock id

Anyone know what this means?  I an running PFS 3 AIO on an 8 meg Sandisk  CF card

Update... I just tried to reinstall the program to the same directory as the original.  Got a new error message. Wrong idex block id. Then it said something about being write protected.

Whats up?


On what Amiga setup?

Your biggest partition is 6MB? Your CF card is 8MB capacity? Are you sure you're not getting your GB and MB mixed up? I'll assume it's an 8GB CF card and that your largest partition is 6GB. I'd first run the Check4GB tool so you can see at a glance any current issues:

Let us know if it detects any problems.

Your boot partition should be within the first 4GB of your drive. Check you are running PFS-AIO on both partitions. Check the DOSTYPE and MAXTRANSFER are correct on both partitions.

The filesystem (PFS) is trying to protect your data from corruption as it has detected a serious error. Further writing to the disk would risk your data...it's trying to do you a favour. ;)
