What is the recommended way to recover from
"FILNOTCNTG" error?
Boot the system in some other way (cluster satellite, CD-ROM, etc.) and
check that SYSBOOT.EXE is contiguous:
$ DIR/FULL DKA100:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]SYSBOOT.EXE;0
The "File Attributes" line must show "Contiguous" and hopefully
"MoveFile
disabled" too. If not, COPY/CONTIGUOUS it to a newer version of the same in
the same directory and try the boot again.
The other possibility is that the volume is damaged or does not contain a
valid VMS file structure. In this case the FILNOTCNTG error is just an
indication that VMB.EXE (in ROM) got very confused by your disk's contents.
HTH, :)
