Message-ID: <2634@csd4.milw.wisc.edu> Date: 25 May 89 14:33:58 GMT Sender: news@csd4.milw.wisc.edu Reply-To: duc@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Duc Minh Tran) Lines: 14 The other day I tried to recover a deleted file off of my hard disk. I used an apparently old version of my Disk Mechanic utility which does not support the FFS. The program recovered the file ok but every time I try to manipulate it ( ie. delete, move) my machine would GURU. 1. So can I assume that the recovered file is in the old file system format? 2. The other files on that bad partition shoundn't be affected any should it? 3. Do I have to format the entire hard disk to fix the problem or can I just zero out the bad partition? I would appreciate any help. -- [ .signature eater ]
