Hi!
I'm running into a real GREAT problem...
Since a few days STACKER is turning me into a mad PC User. >:-[]
Well i'm going to expose ( as clearly as possible ) my problem.
I 'Stacked' my Hard disk ( 100 MB -> 200 MB ) and for many months had no
troubles at all. Recently I put an erase-protect (The EP from Norton) on my
stacked drive and a disk-cache (SmartDrv.exe from Microsoft) on my uncompressed
drive. It all worked fine for several weeks BUT SUDDENLY my stacked drive get
Write-Protected by the program STACKER and since then i can only read my
stacked drive (absolutely unpossible to write (or delete) a file on that drive)
8-o
I re-booted my computer and STACKER reported that the Stackvol.dsk file was
damaged (and therefore write-protected the drive).
I checked the stacked drive with SCHECK.EXE the answer was that there was just
one lost cluster in an EP file ( but no problems at all on the UNcompressed
drive ) and that i should first correct CHKDSK /F but it wasn't able to repair
it ( the drive is always write-protected )....
I also tried the Norton Disk Doctor the result was the same: unable
to correct the problem (can't write on that disk).
Help me, i don't want to format my Hard Disk and loose 200 MG of Programs!!
WHAT CAN I DO ????
Louis
