- Help!!
-
- I recently moved some semi-important files to a compressdisk partition to
- get some much needed space. For some reason I turned on my computer today
- and my compressdisk partition (CH0:) keeps saying "Not a DOS disk."
-
- Anyone got any ideas what to do?
-
- I've even tried DiskSalv on it and all it does is restore 488 bytes of
- almost every file. The first 60 blocks or so are skipped with an "ERR!"
-
- Like I said, my life isn't riding on these files, but it would save me gobs!
- of time if I didn't have to re-download and recollect the files.
-
- Any help would be appreciated. It is a 60 meg partition using the recently
- released compressdisk device.
