[LOGic] Reinstalling LOGic

Tue Dec 11 11:23:57 EST 2007

Hello & Seasons Greetings Fellow Logic Users, 
Just did mine last week when the same thing happened. I was able to get in using the WindowsXP recovery disk in DOS, I attempted to copy files to another undamaged slave drive and received error messages that some files were corrupted. Additionally, the DOS command "fixboot" generated a "successful" notification but the drive would not even act like a slave or boot. Luckily, the backup files on other drives and a few USB plugs that I keep onhand for such an unprecidented emergency, did the trick. With the exception of a notice of an index error, re-indexing the log did the trick and we are back on track without losing a single logged QSO. 
There is no insurance better than regularly backing up your precious data & other files on external drives. Yes, plural. One never knows for sure does one. hihi
