I've had the same problems with my Jaz scsi as I think I have said
before.
It was this which caused me to go back from HDDRIVER 7.02 to 6.13 (I
tried upgrading to 7 to avoid having to run a second time from the Auto
folder).
In my case I have partitions C-F on IDE and I-O on the Jaz.
As far as I remember, when the problem occurs I got the contents of
partition I: for any drive from J-O.
It sounds like your partition H: is thus equivalent to my I:. Perhaps
you have C-E as IDE and thus still have 3 'reliable' scsi partitions.
It is pretty scary... but I don't think I ever had any corruption as a
result... I think it reads and writes I to I, not to the partition which
you are trying to get at.
I think it occurs in conjunction with my Jaz spinning down - if it it
the same for you then perhaps there is a way to turn off sleep mode on
the Quantum? Even with HDDRIVER 6.13 I have problems. When the Jaz spins
down I have to access partitions in the right way or they just won't
open. i.e. double clicking on an icon from TOS causes the icon to become
inaccesible even after I have got the Jaz to spin up (whilst opening
from some applications causes the drive to spin up and continue to work
normally).
I have tried running HDDRIVER's media change program and disabling
caches but I can't get back an icon's contents short of rebooting.
