- Hi, we are using Btrieve 4.11 as our file manager. Recently we started getting
- file corruption errors on some of our machines. The machines are starting to
- get old (they are AST 286 standalone machines--4 years old). We have 30 sites
- using the same programs and just recently some started getting a Status 2.
- I tried using the Butil -save command and depending on where (ie. the record
- number) I am able to save some of the records. If the first record is corrupte
- d then I can't save any of the files and must recreate the file. I tried runni
- ng Norton Utilities on the disk (NDD) but it doesn't detect any bad spots. Doe
- s any one have any idea what I can try to test to see if the disk is at fault
- or if it is indeed a program causing the corruption. Are there any utilities I
- can try to get back some of the records? Thanks in advance.
