Trying to backup system partitions on a Series III
2005-07-21 by brian_ronn
Hi I've managed to format 3 BASF flexydisk 8 2D (format -f0 vrn "1" with a return code $0010CC good sectors (which I believe is normal). Then I tried to make the system backup by typing pback /k0 /f0. The Series III say: "Device /f0 will be overwritten proceed? (y/n): y When replying y I'm told: "Error (destination): write phys, error 247 - disk seek error. Typing: free /f0 I get this: "1" created on: 00/00/01, Capacity: 4,300 sectors (1-sector clusters) 2,290 free sectors, largest block 2,290 sectors. When I apply a dir /f0, there are files called sys, CMDS and CMI.OS9.6.03. Can I assume that the /k0 partition is backed up? Or if not how can the Series III format the disc okay and then give me a destination seek error when I'm doing the pback command? The drive is cleaned with a proper cleaning disc. Any help here is very appreciated :-) Best regards Brian Denmark
