Errors while opening HDtoolBox Help
« on: March 28, 2016, 04:34:51 AM »
I just tried to open HDtoolBox to look at drives and discovered I get this error now. Havent done anything I can remember to cause issues. Anyone know what it means and how to resolve it?

I also notice anything in my systems tools drawer will lock up my Amiga now.

EDIT:

Seems it was the Google Drive Handler causing this. I removed it and pulled the entry out of my user-startup and its working. Strange that it caused this?

Seems plausible.  HDToolbox is trying to scan all the drives and  devices, I bet it doesn't know WTH to do when it hits the Google Drive  device.  ;)

Don't know about the other issues, maybe shoot a PM to the dev of the handler, I bet they'd like to know about this!  :)

Ha, could be! I didnt use it after playing with it the first time I saw it come out. So no loss to me.

Actually it is not plausible. All it needs to scan are exec.library devices, not dos.library devices. The Google handler does not have an exec.library .device, so it does not need to touch it.

Even if it scans the DOS list for whatever reason, the Google handler can clearly be identified as a drive without a .device.

Well the reboot after I removed it from devs and my user startup I was able to run HDToolBox,  so you tell me why? Putting it back after the problem returned.
