Installing S7 Simatic V55 sp3 from my external HD ended in a crash.
Installing Simatic software is a.p.i.t.a.
It takes hours and often ends premature with cryptic error messages
Like:
you have no sufficient rights to access
... the program you are just installing as administrator!..
Or invalid drive E: while you are installing from DVD drive F: ...
Since installing from DVD station F: was terminated with error msg no access drive E:
I thought to be smart and copied the install program to my USB drive 1T ADATA as drive E:
This time the drive E: access error did not appear
The install stopped in a crash anyway
I was not surprised it is a Siematic install..
After that my USB HD was damaged no access possible
Win Explorer freezes when trying to open ADATA CH94 (E:)
that was now renamed to E: only
the message: drive E: has to be reformatted to use it..
That would mean complete data loss 350 GB of 931GB
ooops
Googeling I hit on using chkdsk /f e: in the commandbox
it must be done in the execute box above. I did not work for me to open a dos cmd box and give the same chkdsk /f e: command line command.
then an error msg about having no rights to execute this command typical windows stops you..
Eureka ! even when W-Explorer is unable to see the USB drive E:
chkdsk /f e: started working
After 1 hour my 1 Tbyte drive was back alive without loosing data.
that's better..
I must say next time I tried this I got the message that my rights So try chkdsk /f {drive:} first before starting the destructive solutions that are recommended to you.
Even the ADATA site only recommends their repair tool that implies complete loss of data.
The good old DOS command chkdisk does it free of charge and can save your data.
No news about DX we have lost all propagation here.
DX peditions are only worked in the easy parts in S-E Europe.
Roaring wind around the house freezing cold. Crazy weather.
Flowers and birds having very touch time again.
Some species disappeared from the new arctic area we are living in.On the other front our government is making life as unpleasant as possible
