No, this isn't another "my hard drive died, what should I do?!?!" posting.
It's more like "my hard drive died, I know basically what to do, but the
software I can find to do it isn't being very helpful."
The last time my harddrive died I used Sectorama to fix it (just disconnected
the directory that had the problem within it). What I'm wondering is
is there a newer version of Sectorama than the one on Fish
disk 108? Or anything better.
The last time around it was easy to fix - my machine GURU'd while doing
a copy to the drive, so the error was within a directory I didn't really
care about.
This time, it GURU'd while downloading MRBackup (thus the Irony[TM] ... I
was about to back it up again) _and_ with dcron running _and_ with Getty
running _and_ it was being UUCP'd down (I had just gotten the UUCP going
and was testing file copy) so the error is in any of a number of places.
So, I want something that will be more helpfull.
What would be useful would be something that follows the file structure
(as the startup validation does) and gives _detailed_ info about what
is wrong. Then, I could go in and change something, do it again,
change something, do it again, etc.
Thanks,
Blair
