Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Error Codes

2003-03-23 by Colin Ross

Hi Jerry
The file that is giving a 217 error message is corrupt. Over time tape and
8" disks becomes bad and files are unreadable. Get a external Hard Drive (no
bigger than 9 GB that's if your using OS 9.34. 4 GB if less than that) and
save your sounds on that. Any tapes you have back them up onto the HD. This
will keep your sounds for alot longer.
You will be unable to retrieve the corrupt file it is lost
forever........SORRY
Best regards
Colin

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
