Help!! 

I recently moved some semi-important files to a compressdisk partition to
get some much needed space.  For some reason I turned on my computer today
and my compressdisk partition (CH0:) keeps saying "Not a DOS disk."

Anyone got any ideas what to do?  

I've even tried DiskSalv on it and all it does is restore 488 bytes of
almost every file.  The first 60 blocks or so are skipped with an "ERR!" 

Like I said, my life isn't riding on these files, but it would save me gobs!
of time if I didn't have to re-download and recollect the files.

Any help would be appreciated.  It is a 60 meg partition using the recently
released compressdisk device.

I hope the little one does not drag and drop drawers on drawers because it
takes quiet some time to find them. Although this feature has made me some
money in the past. People accidently move one of their drawers into another
one. The assign at startup can't find the directory. Panic. Yes I'll fix it :-)

Well, your computer is KICKSTART 1.3 ... The WorkBench Screentitle tells
you what WORKBENCH you use NOT which KICKSTART your amiga has....
Get a WorkBench 1.3 instead of 1.2

Hmmm, you could try the MASTER Mode within your PP V3.0.  This will
recognize more crunchers.  Activate it with holding CTRL, Left-ALT
down, while 'selecting' the word "Powerpackerx.x" in the
Recrunch-menu (just beneath "Supports:").

If this won't work, you could try to upgrade PP V3.0 upto the latest
Version (V4.0a) at UGA-Software, and try it with that version.

I hope this is of any help.

  uh,  I think your talking about DCC's.  DAT's have nothing in common

Unfortunately, this is a popular misconception. True, the primary goal of 3.0
was to provide AA support in the OS, but many extra features are included in
3.0, some as a result of the AA support. To list but a few:

Palette sharing.
Double buffering.
Interleaved BitMaps.
Improved BootMenu.
Attached screens.
Memory pools.
Directory-caching File System.
Datatypes.

I'm sorry if you don't consider these to be a 'general improvement of the OS'

There were several reasons at the time:
1) we didn't want to make Intuition dependent on AmigaDOS  (as it would
   be if Intuition did filesystem accessing things like IPrefs)
2) we didn't want to make the console.device dependent on disk loaded
   devices (like the clipboard.device)
3) we wanted IPrefs to be more easily changable than if it were in ROM.
4) we didn't want to give Intuition its own process (for compatiblity
   reasons, for memory reasons, etc) which it would require if Iprefs
   were to become part of Intuition.  Otherwise we'd end up the
   restriction that only processes could have preference access.
5) we didn't want to make the console.device a process, either.
6) Because the clipboard.device lives on the Workbench disk, there's
   little downside to having conclip live on the Workbench disk, too.
7) Because the preferences live on the Workbench disk, there's very
   little downside to having IPrefs live on the Workbench disk, too.

Try SNAP instead, works fine here with CpuBlit.

I'm no graphics guru, but changes in 3.0 on the graphics side probably
forces this solution. (Logical ehe? :)

I have personally encountered a massive file system crash on a PC a
couple of years ago.  I encountered ~100 file blocks that don't belong
anywhere to the chain.  After fixing with Norton DiskDoctor, the number
were up to ~ 1000 a few days later.  All the fancy TUI (the UI was done
in Text. :) is a pain if you want to recover a few hundred files.  I
wished I had a disksalv for DOS...  :)  Tools like Norton are for minor
repairs only.

I made the same decision on my workbench disk since 1.2 :) :) :)
I am looking forward to seeing the new DiskSalv.  I have just bought a
Quantum Pro 40S (used at a really attractive price) for hacking SCSI
stuff and DiskSalv usage.  Now if only DiskSalv can save its data
structures (as a file) so that I can restore 40 meg chunks at a time
without having to rescan the whole drive every time.

You should use the 'ignore bootblocks error' feature.
It can be selected via a Tooltype and it works fine
for me from 6.0x to 6.20.
I think that maybe you rewrote the VC icon when you updated and so lost
this tooltype which is not set by default.

That doesn't mean that they are still any good. I am not a programmer but
had
once written the manual for a module of software by Holiday Inns -
Worldwide Inc. The problem was although we tried to write as user friendly
as possible, our initial draft was killed outright. 1) Most companies have
a fixed format
fot the manual which was originally fixed by some programmer and they want
us
to stick to in - even if it's stupid. 2) Not to much time is schedualled
for
hands on time to actually learn ALL of the software but the doc specialist
so the end up listening to the programmer or using the programmers notes.

They seem to be able to overlap themselves when drawn from right to left.
Otherwise they are re-arranged. If you know in which order your drives
appear, you can arrange them in 'correct' horizontal order and snapshot
them. But be careful, even inserting a disk while booting leads to a
new icon which might disturb the others ;)

  Yes,  The ACS package is Client only.  You still need a IBM compatible

Well, disk and manual are surely worth the money and yes, the book
is very good.  It's one of the view Amiga books that requires some
basic knowledge.  In case you don't know anything about programming or
ARexx, it's surely too difficult to read.

But for those who are using ARexx with various applications, it's

Not only that but LOTS of people are avoiding the A1960 altogether.  If C=
wants to build a name that new customers can trust, better quality is
essential.  I know that I wouldn't have an A1960 at anywhere near the
current price.  Maybe this is the inevitable result of C='s promiscuous
monitor buying.  If they'd simply settled down and decided to buy from 2-3
regular suppliers, instead of everybody in the business at one time or
other, they might well have better quality monitors available.  Long term
business relationships *do* have benefits.
