Non-Amiga geeks make a boo boo

Absolutely true.............but I was actually surprised this   time.  I am a church member and people who know it here that know it are hostile towards me at times.
I find its usually athiests or anti religion/AntiGod people.

I always thought that at least Amigans would respect other Amigans.........not the case.

I would have expected more as well. But it seems like some people here put a higher value on poking fun at a church and/or its losses than helping out the Amiga community.

Oh give me a break. You cannot blame a whole group based on the actions of GW. That's the same discrimination the world decries.

Also, the KKK calls themselves Christians, but their actions would say otherwise.

Perhaps you missed the smiley?
This was certainly intended as tounge-in-cheek.

At least it was just church data that got blown away, instead of you know, something that actually matters.

You'd probably hold a very different perspective if you worked in that church office let me tell ya.

I think it's interesting to hear in 2007 of an Amiga still being in use in a church.

I think that it is very cool and rare to hear in 2007 of an Amiga being used for any sort of non-gaming / hobby purpose!

One of my best friends still makes a living from using his Amiga Video Toaster/Flyer system full time.  He recently purchased a PC system to replace it, but to my knowledge has yet to make a dime from it, while the Toaster/Flyer keeps chugging along and provides him with the best interface for his productions.  It is hard to move away from something that has worked so well for so long.

Quite honest. Some fuses have been blown by me for destroying important data on occasions. That happens everyone sooner or later. Even the gurus around here have done something that the want to keep unmentioned - hehe :-)

Blame mr. Murphy and his law....

And believe me. Sooner or later you'll f**k up things even more. That's life.

Sit down. Take a deep breath. Grab a mug o' coffee and start thinking after that.

I think it's cool that a church uses it in any year. Although, "still" using is neat as well. Amiga's turn up in all sorts of unexpected places and it's always cool when they do.  :banana:

You got to be careful with statements like this, as long as you don't know which file system he's using.

Keep in mind that DiskSalv was designed for OFS or FFS only.

If the HD in question uses SFS or PFS you might do even more damage to the drive/data, if you try to recover it with non-suited tools...
 :roll:

You should always verify that the recovery tool you're intending to use really is matching the file system used on the drive to recover!
