My 133 PC with Warp 4 died. Looks like the disk drives or controller. I have 2 SCSI drives, each with a bootable partition. I have a home PC with a SCSI card running Windows ME and I would like to put the SCSI drives in it to see if they can be read to get my data. Is there a HPFS driver for Windows ME? I have seen one for Win2000 but I don't have that.

thanks

Would it be an option to hook the drive to your WinME SCSI and then boot OS/2 to the command line with the installation disks?

Not a bad plan if I can find them. It has been years since they were created. I don't have a CD burner and I need to transfer big files from the HPFS to FAT drives (ME), I am guessing the OS/2 boot floppies will see all the drives???

I recently had a partial hard disk (IDE) failure where the OS/2 boot partition was corrupted, but the Win98 partition (FAT 32) was still bootable, although half the time the BIOS was not even recognizing the disk. I also tired to find a win 98 HPFS IFS, but the only one available seemed to be one derived from the NT driver.

I had been using the IBM DFT tool to try and fix the bad sectors on the disk and hopefully reinstall OS/2, but it was never able to complete the job. Probably a good thing since it's idea of fixing erases data rather than attempting to recover data. I did find a disk utility called DFS that has DOS, OS/2 and NT/2000 executables. It is farly low level tool but at least you can see if the file structures are still sound. After several attempts at fixing the file sytems in DFS I booted to OS/2 on a newly installed disk and I was able to read the HPFS data partition and copy the data.

Good Luck.

If you have the Warp 4 CD, you have the required floppy images and scripts to create them on real floppy disks, there's an OS/2 command file (.cmd) and a DOS batch file (.bat) in the root directory of the CD that will create the floppies.
If you can boot DOS on the machine, there's a shareware program out there that will allow DOS to read (but not write) HPFS partitions.
