| Subject: | PFS3 ate my HD! |
A word of warning if you have PFS3 installed.....do yourself a
favour......DELETE IT NOW!!
I have just spent the most traumatic five days, trying to recover my HD,
since I started computing way back in 1982!
Ironically, I was working in DH7, my MakeCD partition, prepping my 13Gb HD
for backup, when PFS3 informed me......DH7: Wrong Index Block
ID........then promptly crashed.
Upon rebooting, PFS3 greeted me with the error.....Device DH7: Rootblock
Extension Invalid, then DH6, DH5, DH4, DH3, DH2, DH1 & DH0 all threw up
this error. WTF!!
Luckily, I have an OS3.9 backup on my old Quantum 1.2Gb HD, circa 1995, and
I booted from that and ran PFS Doctor.
This gave the error.....DHx: Device could not be inhibited.....on whichever
partition I tried it on.
So in summary, I have a 13Gb HD which I cannot access, even via the early
boot menu, I can't format it, and I can't re-install via my backup
CD's/Zip's/floppies, and I'm back to good ol' FFS.
On the front of PFS3....it says,"....always valid".....always valid...MY
ARSE!!
Slainte Mhath,
