ImRetro Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 have i screwed up royally? I have been backing-up my iBook (running 9.1) with Retrospect 4.1 onto CD-RW disks using a QPS FireWire drive to burn them. now the ibook is in the shop and i have a fancy rental Powerbook running 9.2 - I go to restore but No. my disks are invisible to Retrospect, or it thinks they're DOS formatted and asks if I want to initialize them. eeck. I've tried everything i can think of - please please please if you have an idea - let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakB Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 The only way to read a Retrospect created disk, is to use a Retrospect qualified device. These disks cannot be read from your CD-Rom drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImRetro Posted May 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 thank you Zak for your reply - i really appreciate your help. i'm trying to read the disks from the same external CD-Rom device that i used to burn them with - if the device worked for Retrospect to *make* the disks, shouldn't it be able to read them too? if not, can you please advise how i should proceed? would an upgrade to Retrospect 4.3 help?
