Alfkil HD problem
Just can't stay away

Could it be that my system partition is SFS and therefore is not recognized? If so, would it be safe to try and switch it in media toolbox without loosing the (maybe) data, that might still be there??

You mean changing the filesystem in PWizard and rebooting to see if it changes anything?
AFAIK, it's safe to do it. As long as "you" don't write on the partition, it's OK. AmigaOS doesn't write unless you tell it to

Maybe "Find Partitions"...?

If I remember correctly this feature makes PW find partitions on your HD and generate a mountlist with what it finds. It does not write to the HD.
But it has been a long time.... I may be wrong. You may want to try on another disk.

And "SYS:System/Mounter" can't be used for this, I suppose?

I decided to just format and reinstall the whole shabang. Funny thing, although I needed to install all 4 updates seperately, it still is faster than installing windows on a quad core pc...

Yes, smts its easier just to reinstall everything. Good to hear that you have your computer back

Obviously the point is moot now (glad you got your system running), but I was more suspecting something like maybe a damaged root block on your DH1: or some other structural error which led the system to not accept the volume, but left all your data (probably) intact on it.

I would probably have started with a Check, and if it turned up anything, take a deep breath and use Repair and/or Recover.

I don't think the file system is likely to have suddenly changed by itself, so my guess would have been that it was FFS all along.

Just my two øre (which - like these suggestions - are worthless in Denmark today ).

Best regards,

Niels
