- Well , I just installed stacker 3.0 on three machines(all licenced versions)
- I had no problems with my Zeos machine installed like a charm nor with a packar
- d bell. But when it came to a IBM true blue PS/2 model with a 60 meg hard drive
- I received and error #083 (undocumented of course) seek failure during stacking
- . This cause a STACVOL.DSK file to be produce with most of the hard drive in th
- at file. The .DSK would not mount and no documented procedures would correct
- the problem. After spending 2 hours getting a busy signal from STAC
- I finally got a tech. (and waited on hold for 30 min.) we proceded to create th
- e stacvol.dsk with the /p /=p parameter(not in the manual) and then unstacked
- the drive. This was sucessful and all was recovered, but the error indicates
- a hardware error but under extensive testing with diskfix and disk doctor
- I was unable to find any thing wrong with the harddrive. This machine was setup
-
- and installed by IBMwith a standard IBM hardrive. PCTOOLS reports that the dis
- k is translated by the PS/2 and so the actual number of heads and cyclinders
- is not know. I could not do a low level on it (at least not from DISKFIX).
- I am not sure as to weather to try stacker again or not. Has anybody else run
- into this situation and,if so how did you fix it????
