Msg 44849 is 15 line(s) on 06/11/91 from MICHAEL SHARTIAG to JERRY OLSEN re: R/FAT TABLES /REBUILDING CHKDSK will not run if the FAT is corrupted (or at least if both copies are) ) While I am not sure how recover works, I know that it created file names and associated links of block with them. My problem is that the file names are all there... just no links to real data. If it helps, I think I know what casued it. The drive (ST225) was being used with a 16 bit WD-1003 MFM controller. When the computer died the drive was moved to a different machine with a SEGEATE contoller (MFM) ST-11M I believe. Anyways, they told me that when they powered up the computer, the controller said, drive appears to be uninitialized.. do you wish to prepare it? THey answered NO and the machine went to the floppy and booted, but I think this 'disk interrogoation' by the seagate board may have been what fried the FAT tables. I am still waiting on word as to whether there was any valuable data on the drive that must be recovered, but with this info in hand, is there now e now any new possibilities of recovery? No dup. chars. >Function:?
