My warp4 machine ate it'self the other day. At restart it runs checkdisk,
indicates that it has relocated information stored on a bad sector then says
it cannot continue. After this the driver reports that the disk is dirty and
needs to be checked in order to function.
I pulled the drive and mounted it on another machine I have which is running
an identical version and service level of warp 4. It is also running
HPFS386. Checkdisk/F gives the same error as it does when I try to boot the
disk on the machine it belongs to.
The drive passes diagnostics. I am running Linux from another partition right
now (it was a dual-boot OS/2, Linux drive but OS/2 won't boot now....).
I've searched the web like crazy for more advanced tools which will work on an
HPFS386 filesystem to no avail. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
