- Check out DiskSalv2, it has a validate option...maybe it can get your HD back.
- I did so last weekend with a HardDrive in an SX32+CD32 Amiga (not mine). The HD
- was not recognized by the system...starting with the WorkBench disk and then
- running DiskSalv2 got it back !
-
- But as your HD was partionally formatted it might not work :-(
-
- Check if the ToolType (choose the HDToolBox icon, then choose information from
- the menu) : "SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=scsi.device" exists...if not, choose new and type
- it in...Then re-run HDToolBox and see if it works...
-
- I hope this is of any help to you !
