SFS Partitions Won't Load
« on: July 28, 2008, 02:22:19 AM »
Hey guys, just installed Fusion 3.2, and now my SFS partitions won't mount, what is the first thing that I should check? All of my FFS partitions seem to load fine!

 Check if SFS file system is in the L: drawer, then if it is in the driver's RDB.

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

SFS is in L:

How do I make sure that it's in the RDB? I'm starting to worry now........ :getmad:

I opened HDToolBox and it's listed in there. This is really strange to me. I had created a partition earlier on, and had restarted a few times. The two partitions I had formatted with SFS are showing up NDOS. Do you think my data is still there? *sigh*

just installed Fusion 3.2


Did you create a new dedicated Mac partition for Fusion ? And is the HDD bigger than 4GB ? And is the Mac partition above the 4GB line of the HDD ? And are the SFS parttions below the 4GB line ?

Then sorry boy, you've trashed your HDD. AFAIK Fusion is not able to access hard drives bigger than 4GB. Just like ShapeShifter, PC-Task and many other programs working with dedicated partitions.

Instead it writes into the area below 4GB, trashing the date which was there before.

You might have a chance if the SFS file system is the only data which was trashed. Run HDToolbox, go to Add/Update, select the SFS entry, click on Update and choose your copy of SFS from the L: drawer. Save changes and reboot.

Bye,
Thomas

Not necessarily, the latest Fusion was principally with over 4 GB support but it was not so tested and to be used with own risk.

Yes. I used the last version of Fusion. Guess it's time to start over again. BOOOO!! I think this time I will find a small IDE HD and use that for fusion.

That's what I did, gave own HD to PC-Task and Mac to be on the secure side; luckily my huge tower houses easily 4-5 HDs.
