SFS Checksum Error....

block 18

So how do I get rid of a checksum error on SFS (can't write to my drive)

bit of a pain in the ass as I'm trying to install drivers...

OS 3.9 BB 1&2 060 etc etc.

sorry for abruptness but am tired

Thats what I've used to get SFS going. I can almost recite the contents of that page from memory

(the formatting parameters at any rate)

If you are telling me to reformat the drive, I was hoping there is a slightly less drastic solution, although I will if I have to.

Edit:- I cant connect the Microdrive to PC cos my card reader/winblows doesn't like it, so any solutions must be Amiga side only.

Try this and this

Maybe your drive isn't being a good boy and needs to run in a slower mode?

AFAIK the only supported method yet is to copy all files to another partition, quick-format this one and copy all files back.

Also remember to copy CLONE all files so the "backup" will be a perfect copy of original data!

Just use DOpus to copy the files to a good partition...... lost count of how many times I've done that on me real Amy

Why are you guys using SFS then if it develops these kinds of problems that only have an inconvenient solution? :-D
