Amiga 1200 + Indivision AGA MK3 + ACA1221lc + more

amifan · 01 June 2021, 12:12

Hi guys, I have my A1200 with 3.0 roms, it was recently recapped by Kinami on EAB, it has an Indivision AGA MK3, ACA1221lc, 4GB CF drive, USB mouse adapter, and a new 120v PSU. The computer works beautifully and was my main machine for doing music, unfortunately I had an incident when I was backing up my data, the computer crashed and the HD came up as NDos. I lost 10 years of music data. I really appreciate all the comments and help in getting my data back.

Why not try to recover your files from the HD?

Maybe someone here could help recover the data before you sell it.

Would that be possible, would there still be a chance even if it comes up as NDOS? That would be a real life saver if someone knows how to recover the data. Unfortunately I found out my floppy disk is up the creek too so I am unable to boot from floppy disks to get into Workbench. Hmm maybe I am bit hasty in selling if there is a chance to recover the data lol.

Here's an idea... use Win32DiskImager to make an image of your 4GB CF... then you can mess around with image than the actual physical CF.

I did something similar with corrupted SD card in the past and it worked great!

Thanks, I will give that a try, I am using a Mac but I will see if I can find a similar prog for the Mac. Fingers crossed

Thank you for recommending the programs, I managed to back up the CF with ApplePiBaker and it looks like the data is still there, I am using Mac UAE and it seems to have a bit of trouble mounting the disk image but when I use DiskSalvage is is able to see my data. So hopefully once I get my Gotek to boot into a Workbench disk I should hopefully be able to see the hard disk and correct it. Thanks again for all the help here on EAB, it is truly a wonderful community.

Great to see you got some progress on your data, hope all is recovered and do more backups in the future
