I have just installed QPC v2.03 on my new PC provided by Roy Wood. I have been copying my hard drive across from my Aurora using the Knightsafe program which compresses the files into a huge file which fills several HD disks (each backup file uses all available sectors... ie 2871 on a QL formatted disk). However, when I have tried to restore these on the QPC side of things, some of the disks report medium checksum error... I have tried formatting various HD disks both on Aurora and QPC and copying the backup file to them using Aurora, but QPC insists there is an error reading the disks, despite the fact that Aurora disk drives can still read them. I have never had problems with customers not being able to read my disks, and out of 20 backup files copied across in this way, there are only 3 which refuse to be read (even with a BASIC COPY command). I therfore do not think it is to do with head alignment....
Further, when I try to read DD disks which I created on the Aurora system, I either get a real directory or a corrupt directory (!) but when I try reading any files, they all appear corrupt, even though the Aurora will read them.... Any ideas on this one.... I am really stuck! Maybe anyone with QPC who has purchased programs from me could report if they have problems reading my disks but no-one elses???? Maybe it is my floppy disk drives on the Aurora if this is the case....... Rich Mellor
