[comp.sys.atari.st] HELP, HD problem

hvaalde@cs.vu.nl (Aalderen van Harold) (06/30/89)

system :	1040STf tos 1.0 (25.11.85) turbodos 1.0.5 loaded
		2 Harddisks; 	unit 0 = megafile60, 4 partitions
				unit 1 = SH204, 2 partitions
		AHDI version 1.7, boot from unit0 partition 1
		folder limit at 1040 (using folderxxx.prg)

problem:

partion 2, unit 1 has no items at all, but show info indicates
circa 9 Meg used and 800K free 0 folders, 0 items

history since last reset:

zooed several folders only one problem, one file gives READ ERROR
this file is GULAM.PRG (v3.0.5 I think) but I could execute it normally)
after that I transferred several megs form unit 0, partions 4 to unit 1 partion
2, no errors were reported
To avoid problems with folderlimit I reset the computer, still no problem here
after the reset I open a window for partion 2 of unit 1 and it showed no files

Questions:

Does anyone experienced such a problem?
Does anyone no what could have caused the problem?
Does anyone no how to retrieve the information on the partion 
with minimal los of data?
