Data recovery?
I checked out the Symantec site and can not figure out how to submit
questions into a discussion group. Can you help me out? Thanks again. Mike M wrote: Does this help? No, not at all since it adds nothing to your previous post where you confirmed that GoBack was installed on the drive. I have already posted you a link to the Symantec site where I am sure someone from Symantec will be only too happy to help you solve the problem created by their software. checked my drives in Fdisk and the master Drive 1 has Partition -1 Status -A Type -PRI DOS System -FAT32 and Usage 100%. The slave Drive 2 has Partition -1 Status -A Type -Non-DOS System -blank and Usage 100%. Does this help? -- Message posted via http://www.windowskb.com |

I found an executable on the Symantec site that solved my problem. I
downloaded and ran gb_prog.exe /u and I was able to get my data files. Thanks again for all your help.

No. Not unless you have a disk editor handy and know what you are doing including the risks involved otherwise you need to approach Symantec. -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums....neral/200611/1 |

Well done Tim. Any chance that you could post the URL of the utility so
that in future I can help others with a similar problem? -- Mike Maltby Tim O via WindowsKB.com u27552@uwe wrote: I found an executable on the Symantec site that solved my problem. I downloaded and ran gb_prog.exe /u and I was able to get my data files. Thanks again for all your help. |

Congratulations on your persistence, Tim.
I wasn't entirely sure you would be able to do it, ... which shows how little I know. Now you may desire to rerun fdisk to see that the "slave" drive has the same attributes as the primary, master drive. IIRC, later versions of the orphaned Powerquest Partition Magic, ca. ver. 5 , would have permitted you to do the same changes. -- Jack E.

I would be glad to post the URL. Will you please let me know how to?

Either copy or type it into your reply to this message. The link is only
a string of characters s so type it if short or copy and paste if long and complex. -- Mike Maltby Tim O via WindowsKB.com u27552@uwe wrote: I would be glad to post the URL. Will you please let me know how to? |

IIRC, later versions of the orphaned Powerquest Partition Magic, ca. ver. 5 As would a file recovery program such as R-Studio (I used this myself to recover 80GB of data for a friend just a couple of weeks ago after the failure of their e-machine that was running GoBack) but that isn't free and I rather thought that Symantec had a tool to do the job. I chose to go the file recovery route rather than change the file system flag as I wasn't certain whether GoBack did more than simply change the flag. Subsequent experimentation told me that changing the flag, in that case from 44H to 07H (it was a NTFS drive) was all that was needed. -- Mike Maltby |

Very nicely done, Mike.
If only all such support incidents were so easily resolved! -- Jack E.

This looks applicable for casual users with this Go Back problem:
