to MICHAEL SHARTIAG re: R/FAT TABLES /REBUILDING
|
|
|
|
You're into real "hacking" territory if your FAT is gone.
|
|
First thing I'd do is get good with Norton Utility. If the drive were mine,
|
|
I'd first check if the boot sector reflects the drive properly - i.e.
|
|
number of clusters, etc. I have a program that can do that - or you can
|
|
do it with Norton Utility - well, sort of do it - you can look at the boot
|
|
sector and see if it "looks right" (one of those "I know, but I can't
|
|
explain it" problems).
|
|
If THAT is correct, then I'd see how much of the FAT is still good -
|
|
either FAT 1 or FAT 2. If NONE of it is any good, I'd zero it.
|
|
Then, I'd decide which of the files were most important - i.e. worth the
|
|
effort to try to bring back.
|
|
I'd then try to locate the directory entries for those files with NU -
|
|
I think it can change directories, even if the FAT doesn't agree that
|
|
there's a file there.
|
|
I'd patch the directories back into existance - by putting an "<EOF>"
|
|
entry in the FAT for each. If it looked like a DIR went past one cluster,
|
|
I'd try to find that cluster, and make the fat chain properly.
|
|
Then I'd find the file, and I'd use the unerase utility to bring the file
|
|
back, manually-selected-cluster by manually-selected-cluster.
|
|
NOTE you might have to put an E5 in the first byte of the filename to
|
|
be able to use unerase.
|
|
The reason I'd use unerase is because it has a utility to view sectors,
|
|
and add them to a chain of clusters, and rebuild the fat from that info -
|
|
cluster by cluster, and file by file.
|
|
VERY tedious work. I once zapped about 100 FAT pointers (wrote
|
|
some garbage over 'em) and it took about 100 hours to reconstruct a few
|
|
of the files. BUT I sure learned about FATs (I had no NU at the time -
|
|
wrote some of my own utilities, such as to dump hard-to-read 12-bit fats).

to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: THANKS YOU
|
|
|
|
Thank you for coming up with a wonderful idea! I've been running a BBS here
|
|
in Olympia for 8 years now. I just wanted to drop by and pay homage to
|
|
GOD, as it were. Thanks again.
