Oops, i forgot about your QLWARZ. I did it the hard way.
Cueshell did not report any Backup errors but behaved strangely on one
main directory it should copy. Instead it started Deleting files from
another directory.
I could restore both from an older win2_ backup as nothing had recently
been changed in both dirs.
Still the question remains why both emulators behaved so differently.

If you write a lot of programs you will occasionally corrupt your hard

On the occasions its happened to me Ive tried various things, including
the two Tebby hard disk tools. My problems didnt, perhaps, fit with what
theyre supposed to fix, as they never seemed to make any difference..
What did make a difference in my case was QLWARZ, or rather what lead me
to stitching it together in the first place. When it gets to corrupts
files or directories the program crashes (yes!) Then I just keep typing
CONTINUE until it picks itself up and runs again. At the end of the
process, everything that can be saved is copied. Some damaged files
remain damaged, but at least they are "legal" and dont mess with your
system.
Clearly, if you need to retrieve irreplaceable material after that you
will need to go back to the original win drive (QLWARZ doesnt fiddle
with it other than renaming it) and set to work with a file editor, such
as Wolfgang Lenerz'es Wined (https://www.wlenerz.com/qlstuff/#wined)!

That's what I did. A larger win2_ was formatted and dirs/files were
copied with Cueshell from the old win2_.
I only hope any corruption was not migrated with it.
Are there any tools available to examine a suspect win drive?

Hi,
no issue here, same with QPC and SMSQmulator.
I suspect your win2 is corrupted in some way, it happened to me with
the same error of "drive full", try to use the tool QLWARZ from Per
Witte to check if something change.

I experienced a strange problem with Saving a text from QD.
Under QPC2 the Overwrite from QD to win2_ froze the emulator.
The same file under SMSQmulator8 to the same win2_ gave no problem.
The text file is about 250KB in size.
Saving to ram2_ from QD went OK on both emulators.
Backup of the ram2_ text to win2_ by QPAC2 froze QPC2 again, not
under SMSQm8.
Copy with QPAC2 now reported 'drive full' while it claimed 28MB free
on win2_.
Then I found that the same Copy from SMSQm8 had saved only 10% of
the text - QPAC2 reported the full size - thus avoiding the 'drive
full' error.
The emulators, SMSQ/E & QD are the latest versions running under W$7.
I also tried older versions with the same result.
So why is the free MB size wrong?
Why does QPC2 freeze and not report an error from QD?
Why does SMSQm8 deceive me into thinking it all went OK?
