HELP! I killed my Hard Drive!

[Twin]

Ok, I had written a two page post describing my problem, pressed submit and my net connection had dropped off while I typed the problem, so I lost it all.

This is not my day.

My problem is, I was extracting a zip file from a 720k PC floppy to the Main (DH1) partition of my HD.

An error about a cache came up, the computer froze now when I try and boot I get errors such as:

SFS-II Error Requester
Device DH1:
Read attempt outside partition!

and

SFS-II Error Requester
Device DH1:
ALERT:
Wrong dirblock id

I can eventually get WB to load up by clicking throug the errors, but when I try and access Main I can't see any files. System (DH0) still works fine though.

I don't know much about Hard Drives but it seems like the lookup? table for the Main partition has corrupted so WB can't access the data properly.

What do I do? Can I get my data back? Help.

Hi Twin

which SFS version have you installed?

Jast happened to me a couple of months ago.

Try with SFSSalv (in the package) and you can see the files and save them on another partition.

Not 100% safe and then anyway, a format is required.

Hi

Im not sure which version I have installed, the HD was setup when I bought the computer.

I cant seem to find this SFSSalv. Is there anywhere I can get it?

Ill check Aminet now.

Open a Shell and type:

version smartfilesystem

SmarfFileSystem is in the L: directory.

SFSSalv, is present in the main archive of SFS.lha

Bye
