- My problem in executor-digest V2 #139 was:
- Steff> I have a SCSI Syquest EZ Drive with 135MB cartdidges. I use
- Steff> 2 cartridges that I formatted on my PowerMac 6100. First I
- Steff> used them some days with Executor/DOS 1.99q12 and
- Steff> 2.00beta(r3) under Windows 95 on a Pentium 90 Laptop with
- Steff> an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI-Kit. It worked absolutely fine but
- Steff> suddenly the incredible happend: I coudn't read one of the
- Steff> cartridges any more and today I even coudn't read the
- Steff> second one. I also can't read them on the PowerMac any
- Steff> more. It seems like Executor has done something very
- Steff> strange with them.
- Steff> WHAT CAN I DO? CAN ANYBODY HELP ME? I have some quite
- Steff> important data on the two cartridges. Hoping for a good
- Steff> Idea...

- My (Steff's) solution:
- I was able to restore all data on the two cartridges with Norton Disk
- Doctor (Buh, I'm lucky! Cliff, thanks a lot for your fast answer!!!).
-
- But I still don't know the cause of the problem! I work a lot with the
- cave survey program "Toporobot". Because I'm testing the compatibility
- of that program to Executor I work with 'unfinished versions' and have
- often a crash of Executor. Perhaps this could be the reason. I run
- Executor under Windows 95 and I think it uses an internal disk caching
- program. Should I use some special settings concerning Windows 95's disk
- caching behavior ?
-
- I have saved the log files of the data recovering my NDD. If this would
- be helpful for anyone I could send it to him.
