Post by thread:[OT]: Help with DEBUG..

Hi everyone! i'm working on a PC that has fallen 1.5m after a car fell off a hoist and pulled on the cables...I'M SERIOUS!! anyway the PC was actually booting fine, but as soon as i tried to load DOS 6.22 (4.01 didn't have scandisk) it totaly #@%d up. i'm sure the FAT is damaged cause scnadisk keeps finding files all over the place and giving them dumb names. so i got a HD editor and opened the FAT using the menus, the address that comes up is 0000:0200 BUT, when i try to open it with debug and type d 0000:0200 i get all ceros, what am i doing wrong?? it's not all ceros in the HD editor. i can't use the HD editor cause it's a "trial" version and doesn't let me save to the disk. I'm expecting to hear "stay away from the FAT if you don't already know what you're doing!!!!!" but, since the disk is already ruined i'm putting it down to learning experience :) thanks in advance guys ryan -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
