In the beginning of January, Allan Odgaard managed to short circuit his harddisk. His hope is that someone has an identical harddisk, from which he can borrow the control print to restore his data. "The model is a Seagate ST3660A and the drive parameters are 1057CYL-16HEADS-63SECT-545.5MB." Also see his original message.

Seagate ST3660A needed : Comment 29 of 34 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Ville Sarell on 18-Jan-2001 23:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 28 (Chris): In this case Allan had a backup, but as he was changing the hard drives or whatever,
there was a time period in which the backups didn't exist and of course the worst happens
in the worst possible moment. I have lost the content of my HD 3 times and never had backups !
One of in a demoparty when we switched HDs with my friend (the HD broke completely) and 2
times because of the lousy connection between Mikronik Z-2 bussboard and Catweasel/Buddha-idecontroller.
After that I have done several backups, usually through Envoy3 to the other Amiga and the HDs had never
had any problems after that (but problems WILL encounter, I'm sure of it and it's just nice to know you have
backups for that). Actually I had one problem during the period I had started to make backups. I lost a
RDB blocks, but replaced them with OS3.5 hdtoolbox, loading them from a single floppy. At least if some1
won't bother making backups from the whole HD, I suggest you atleast copy your workbench partition somewhere
safe AND also the RDB-blocks of your partitions to a disk (the latter is SO easy to make, I don't think anyone
can say they don't have time for it ;). |
