- Fellow 'groupies',
- I've run into a problem with my 200mb hard drive on my primary partition
- of 100mb (c: drive). I had some sectors that were overlayed. I fixed
- the problem best as I could with PCTools DiskFix which fixed that problem
- but I then had some files I was no longer able to access. For example
- one of my directories was no longer listed as such but was now show as
- being a file (I was able to figure that out).
-
- What I need is a description of all the bit fields that make up the
- file entry and how the sectors reference each other. The data is still
- on the disk (I can find it with PCTools) but I don't have the knowledge
- to piece them together again.
-
- At this point I'm grateful for ANY help I can get. Please respond via
- e-mail or respond in this group.
-
- Thank you,
- Armin
