I run a Citadel BBS off of my A: drive. Last night before I went to
bed, I turned off the hard drive. This morning I needed something off
the C: drive, so I took the BBS down and as it was coming down, I flipped
the power switch on the hard drive. When the desktop came up, the
directory for the A: drive was garbage, looking a lot like the C:
directory after you run SHIP, then the system rebooted. I can't open
the A: drive with that disk in without the system rebooting.
1) I still have a few ideas for trying to save the data on the disk,
but would love to hear any ideas anyone else has.
2) Why did this happen? Why did flipping the power on the hard drive
on trash my A: disk?
I will try to respond to everyone. I sometimes have a hard time getting
things through the gateways, so if you have sent me a reponse and have
never received a reply, I apologize heartily. I have probably tried
and been unsuccessful. Thank you for understanding.
