Good Morning everyone! I was running a simulation under FreeBSD last night and when I came this morning to the office the computer had crash (you couldn't type or even move the mouse). My computer has the hard drive partitioned in two, one for windows and the other one for FreeBSD. Normally when the computer is rebooted it comes up a menu asking: F1 - Windows F5 - FreeBSD This morning when I rebooted the computer it only came up the option of "F1 - Windows" and NO option of FreeBSD. I check the BIOS configuration and it says: "Unexpected SCSI Command Failure". I don't understand what can it happen. The simulation I was running last night consume little memory but the files that stores are massive. It could happen that the partition of FreeBSD was run out of space due to the simulation, BUT if so I think it shouldn't give a failure in this partition. Here I give some more details of the BIOS report: ********************************* Unexpected SCSI Command Failure Target SCSI ID: 1 SCSI CDB Sent: 03 00 00 00 0e 00 70 00 02 00 Host Adapter Status: 00h - No host adapter error Target Status: 02h - Check condition Sense Key: 02h - Not ready +Sense Code: 4Ch +Sense Code Qualifier: 00h ************************************ The information that I have in the FreeBSD partition is very important and I need to restore it. Can anyone tell how can I fix this failure without deleting all the information in the partition? Thank you very much, abel ps: I know that you all are thinking I should have done some backups BUT I'm quite novice with computers... I WILL DO A BACKUP EVERY 30 SECONDS NEXT TIME!!! -- Abel Mayal de la Torre BT Advanced Communications Technology Centre B29 BT Adastral Park Martlesham Heath Ipswich Suffolk IP5 3RE Tph: 01473 647615 E-Mail: mayala@info.bt.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
