My hard drive hiccuped and now I can't open one of the folders. It responds with three bombs and requires a shutdown to recover (reset doesn,t help). My questions are : 1. How are folders handled on a disk, including format of size, name, and locaton data? 2. How are the files within a folder found (where they are on the disk)? 3. If you don't know, how do you determine the starting address of a file on the disk? If you haven't guessed, the one file I need and haven't backed up is within the bad folder. I can go in with a sector editor and look at all sectors on this partition which makes me believe that only a pointer or related bit of file information has been corrupted and not the file itself. By the way it's a Syquest cartridge drive with an ICD plus adapter. Thanks for any help you might provide Jim Harres jharres@doc.bmd.trw.com
