Problem after the power went out

Post by javier2112 »

Hi.

I was working with my QL when the power went out. Now, when I swith on the QL, it displays the message "FAT is wrorng" and no QubIDE's partitions are accesible. Is there any tool to fix this or I must reformat :( ?

Hi

Sounds like the Qubide partition table has been corrupted, I think you may have to recreate the partitions and for the WIN drives, then restore the data from backups.

I started from a old backup, but I've lost all the work I did since the last 4 weeks :(

I'll have to make backups from time to time.
