Hi Charles, > Apologies - I posted this in the wrong place (support requests instead > of the user mailing list):
The arcem-devel list has a higher population and you're more likely to get an answer there since it requires knowledge of arcem's internals. > I'm trying to retrieve data from my girlfriends broken A5000.

So I guess the image you've got may have corruptions. :-( > I've put the raw image in ./arcem, named as HardImage1, and written > this .arcemrc: > > MFM disc > 1 980 2 17 128 980 * 2 * 17 * 128 == 4,264,960 B == 4,165 KiB. That's quite small. What length is HardImage1? Looking at the source code, ReadConfig.c:/MFM disc, it seems `drivenum' has a valid range of 0 <= drivenum <= 3, so your `1' means the second hard drive. Similarly, hdc63463.c:/HardImage means the image files are called HardImage[0-3]. So your .arcemrc and HardImage1 match, but what is RISC OS's *Configuration for hard drives set to, i.e. does it think it has one hard drive called HardImage0? > When I try to read the drive it complains that 'Disc not understood, > has it been formatted? error when reading adfs::4.$'. Again, I'd have thought adfs::4 is HardImage0. If this isn't the problem, then what does `od -c HardImage1 | head -20' give? > Using the cvs version of arcem I get lots of > > seek: cylinder address greater than or equal to configured, 980 >= 980 > Read data command exiting due to failed file seek > > at the command line, and arcem seems to sit at the 'initialising' > screen for ever. Hmm. That used to be just `greater than', which wouldn't cause problems with 980 vs. 980. Wonder who changed it. Feel free to keep asking the questions.
