- I had a situation like your two weeks ago.
-
- You have to try CHECK (or SCHECK if Stacker 2.0) and you have to ask for
- a disk surface test. In my case it worked for half an hour and at the end
- it listed my half winchester as being logically bad. I didn't have any better
- idea, so I launced it again with the switch /F, and asked again the surface
- test. At the end of it it asked if I want to erase the damaged files. First I
- sad NO, but nothing happened, so next time (after the third half an hour) I
- chose YES. This point I had a good working stacker drive, but half my files
- I lost.
- I think this is the only thing you can do. After it save the files you need,
- then (I think) you have to reinstall EVERYTHING. I deleted the whole stacker
- drive, and even stacker, too.
- Oh, before everything you have to remove or 'rem out' the SSWAP line in your
- config.sys file.
-
- Hope this help you. After all, that failure with my computer showed me to
- save everything on the winchester. And I placed my 13MB UTIL subdirectory to
- the unstacked drive, to reach the useful programs when stacker failes.
-
- Good luck,
