Power loss...WD is dead...

Hello Brian…

Last night we had a power loss and when th pc came back to life,WD wont start at all.Right after launching it i get a message that WD ceased working…with this popping up

do you have WD set to create backups?
(which is on by default)
when WD is not running:
if so then try copying the most recent back up of wdisplay.ini file to where WD is installed
also you could try as a test renaming the data files folder
(to pin point where the problem is)

I am sure I have encouraged you to a UPS because you have had sudden power cuts before (which is not good when a file is being updated and the power goes off…you can get a corrupted file)

i hava a wdisplay.ini in the databackup folder…

took it and placed it in the wd directory overwriting the other one…

wd wont start at all :frowning:

see my other suggest to try in the post above

no go…renamed the datafiles and wont start either
:frowning:

I have started the other .exe and it says 10.37R Build 05 8O…what is that 05 build ?

Everything ‘‘looks’’ ok besides my mainscreen that have shrinked :wink:

thanks for now…

looks solved now…what i did…

ive rename the datafiles folder…
started the other .exe
let it sat for 30 min or so…
then shutted it down…
re started the 318 version …YES…its running…then shut it down
re rename the datafiles back to normal
removed the newly created datafiles
re started the 318 again

and all is ok now :wink:
