Re: IFD ERROR 80 only during combine operation

Sorry, somehow In my last consolidation attempt, my incremental file was deleted, and as a result I am unable to recreate the problem any more.
As this was just one of many combine operations that failed, We will just have to wait, and hopefully it will not happen again.
I did change my script to add a sch:d operation. We'll see if this helps. I've also gone back to logl:4.

Ok, I suppose it could be something with the BIOS (or memory). You never
sent a full log entry for the successful run without /sch so I can't tell if
it was using the BIOS or not on the successful run. But if it did support
not using the BIOS, the difference would be to adding /sch without the d
would force things to use the BIOS for IO (and different memory area)
instead of not using it.

Is it an older GA board?

I have tried several times to recreate the problem, but no success.

I have noticed the following:
While I use /:d... for all base and file settings, when I use /sch:0x file and base image.exe states that /:b is being used.
When I use /sch:b0x.. image exe states that /b: is being used.
When I use sch:d0x.. image exe states that /d: is being used.
I have added sch:d0x.. permanently to my script as it seems that d: gives me slightly better performance. Logl: is now set at 4.

It is also interesting that I have used these setting for many months, and dozens of combines on multiple partitions. This was the first one that indicated any error, and mysteriously worked without the /sch: option being specified, and failed with it being specified.

I like to configure my scripts with all the default options, just in case I need to change something in the future. I do not need to use /sch: at all, as all of my backup files are on the same hard drive partition. Should I just remove that option from my script until I actually need to use it?

I have a Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 motherboard. It unfortunately changes the hard drive disk numbers, depending on how bios is configured, and if I have pen drives, SD cards, external USB drives connected at boot time. That's why I created a script to hunt for and use the correct hard drive and partition numbers based on Partition names.

Iterative backups could possibly have a different hardware(source) drive number, even though it is the same physical disk. Is it possible that /sch could be checking the hardware ID numbers? ( I really doubt this as all partition backups occur using the system configuration as of Saturday AM. Only one of the partition backups experienced a problem. If it were a drive numbering problem, all would change.)

is your GA board at the latest BIOS version. There were some older ones
which had some issues in their BIOS int 13h interface.
