hi to all. i've filled a big file with all my favourites films and etc. but after my OS win falling this file is damaged. i've looked throw it using totalcomander viewer (f3 ) and the damaged sector is currently in the start of my .amc. can any one help my to remove this sector? i've tried to do it by myself, but both viewer and catalog couldn't read the file after my correction :-). thx to all for replies

Do you have a .bak file? If so you can rename the .bak file to something else with a .amc extension and try to open it.

Else the solution if the start of the .amc file is corrupted is to make a new empty catalog (or with just one movie) and append to it the remaining part of the other catalog. It is not so easy but I already did it few times.

the back file is also corrupted (. thx to checkdisk error recovering

If you shouldn't find out how to get it working again by yourself and antp doesn't find time for it, I can help out tonight, I guess. Just let me know and I'll send you a mail address via private message (if the file is not too large for mail).

Well, I meant I would send mail address via private message then, not that you need to ask using pm

thx to all. bad4u is the best :-)

see private message, pls

Just a reminder to back up all your files/lists from AMC (Ant Movie Catalog) to otherplaces. I use other drives on same machine, on other computers as well as memory sticks. USB Memory sticks are very cheap nowadays, and this will help if something happens to your drive.
