Hard Drive checksum error :(
I just tried to copy a 39mb file from a cd to my games partition and the amiga locked up (probably the first time ever!). Possibly because there wasn't enough room on the drive so i just noticed.
I rebooted and now when wb boots up it says... "Games1 has a checksum error on disk block 124806" I can still run games from the drive but if i try to delete the folder/file i was copying it says that the drive isn't validated. Any clues to fixing this? |

Welcome to the world of the FFS filesystem. This happened to me a lot!
There's a couple of possible solutions that I know of....Back up all important files before you do any of these! - Use DiskSalv (V2.11.32 is available on Aminet. V4 is better, but I believe that isn't available free) to repair the HD. This one worked for me, but normally I had to tell DiskSalv to do the repair twice, which was weird. - Re-Format and install Smart Filesystem. I've never installed this myself, but I've heard only good things. |

Cheers mate.
Just downloaded it. Would love to reformat but my trusty wb disks don't work. Even the backups. They have been in storage for a looooong time. Haven't had an amiga with 3.0 roms for a long while. Will let you know how it goes. |

Amiback Tools would be a better program to use, it'll fixed the checksum error quite easily, I used to use it alot until I installed SFS...
DO NOT use Quarterback tools on KS3 systems... |
