I use list.exe from the Windows server 2003 resource kit for the purpose of reading/dumping files. It has hex dump and search capabilities and is small and quick.
The resource kit is free and also contains a number of other very useful utilities. Details and download here...
Needless to say, this should not happen, so I hope you have the data on that volume backed up.
You have to run vrepair.nlm on the server console. I don't recommend doing this when the server is in use as it is resource intensive. Also dismount VOL1 and VOL3 to free up their resources.
At the...
Hi Rock4J
Congrats on sorting your problem.
Sorry I didn't see your post sooner as I have indeed gone thru exactly the same thing (except for the computer name bit) and my solution was the same as yours.
I don't really understand why XP mode doesn't just default to the actual adapter in the...
dBase III runs fine under 32 bit Win 7.
Being a 16 bit app, it will not run in a Win 7 64 bit CMD window.
In that case, and assuming you have Win 7 pro, then install XP mode, which is Win XP running in a VM, and put your 16 bit apps in there. You can then set them up as shortcuts on the Win 7...
You've probably seen this, but this MS article seems quite comprehensive:

It specifically mentions mixed exchange and outlook environments.
No personal experience with this issue however.

Rule 1 of data recovery is not to work on your current file.
Work on copies in another folder - then it doesn't matter if you write to them inadvertently.
Alex Nolan makes a good freeware utility called DBF Viewer Plus. It is straightforward to use and portable...
Your mem /c output looks much like what I get from an XP box here, except:
- You have a TSR PRN2FILE resident which I don't (likely used for DOS printing)
- Yours shows a lot of memory (Extended and XMS) available. Mine is under 2 meg for both.
Some DOS programs can't deal with too much memory...
Hi Hardyone
I also maintain a bunch of legacy clipper apps (Summer '87, 5.x) and have migrated them to newer hardware successfully. Here are my personal opinions on your questions (others may disagree):
1. Neither 32 or 64 bit Win 7 is "standard", but 64 is more commonly used. The big...
Even back in the day, 3.x had excellent raid support and I can attest from personal experience to how well SFT worked.
The sad thing is whoever installed that server chose not to use it, put everything on the SYS volume, didn't put essential tools in the boot partition and on and on. Likely...
Hi 52chev
Yes, I'm afraid that's all she wrote. It looks like the partition table on that drive is messed up. It's up to you if you want to let it try and reinit the partition table, but almost for sure that will result in the loss of the Netware partition.
I would only try that on a cloned...
That means IDE.DSK was already loaded, it is probably defined in the .NCF file in the DOS partition, so we didn't accomplish anything there.
Loading vrepair from the floppy should be no different than loading from C:
OK, as our one last shot at this, I am going to email you install.nlm (it...
While researching/refreshing stale synapses, I did locate the old repository of Novell 3.x patches and modules. They can still be found via the Novell patch finder:
http://download.novell.com/patch/finder/
In case it may help others in the future (or myself).

Hold on - I don't think we loaded a disk driver yet ... I am checking your other thread - yes, you have ide.dsk.
When you boot up the server and get the colon prompt, type LOAD IDE.DSK
That will likely ask you for port and/or interrupts, but should provide a default entry if you hit enter...
Well, that non-dos partition looks like the Netware partition; it is a gig in size and that sounds about right.
However, the only way to see what / if any volumes are in there would be to use the Netware install.nlm - that does not normally reside in the DOS partition. Do you have the Novell...
That's the thing, they just sit there doing the job day after day year after year until finally entropy wins. One of mine hasn't even been rebooted in a year, and that was because the UPS failed.
Damn that Novell reliability - I feel like the Maytag repairman (but then he died, too) :)...
It doesn't sound good - either there is no netware partition on that drive or it is corrupt.
Does the DOS partition have fdisk.exe in it, or do you have a DOS boot diskette?
If so, run fdisk and see what partitions are defined on the drive.
You should see a small primary DOS partition (the one...
Hi goombawaho, long time no speak.
I have offered the OP a copy of vrepair in his duplicate thread; just waiting for a reply.
All those old Novell 3.x files and patches seem to have disappeared. Bit of a shame, it is surprising how many 3.x boxes are still running (I support 2)
