New poll: How many hours a day are you using your computer?
This latest poll has its origin in the question how many hours a day our readers are sitting in front of and using their computers (privatly and for work). We are curious about the result. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Hint: Restoring of unreadable disks
Author: Günther Klug Frh. v. Biedermann
Preliminary remark:
I had some problems with the hd-floppy-drive in my A4000. Write errors were reported when copying/deleting on/of hd-disks. The attempts to format this disk also failed with the following message:

"DF0 unreadable" or "no valid disk in drive DF0" and so on.

I asked on the #AC-forum for help and I was said to clean the drive. I did it and the drive worked again. But I could not format the "damaged" hd-disks.

But I did not want to give up and I therefore tryed to format them with "OFS" (488 bytes/block)...

...and it worked!

But because this does not work with WB3.1 and menu "pictprogram/format..." I did it over the SHELL with:

SYS:System/format DRIVE DF0: NAME Empty OFS NOINTL NODIRCACHE NOICONS

Yes and then I formatted it back to FFS - now also with the WB-menu or with

SYS:System/format DRIVE DF0: NAME Empty FFS NOINTL NODIRCACHE NOICONS

And look, I could format it with FFS!!

I guess that you could not restore every damaged disk but I think it is worth trying it! (ps) (Translation: dr)
