brilakebay Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 This morning I accidently (not paying attention) unplugged my external HD that has my portable Launchbox and it's 13,500 games from my powered OTG to connect it to another new powerd OTG without closing Launchbox on my computer first. When I tried to start it up after plugging my external HD to new OTG I got this failure notice. I tried to do this, but to no avail, being 60 and not overly knowledgeable. If anyone more knowledgeable than me (most everyone here i'm sure) wants to look at my self inflicted fail and offer advice, I would surly appreciate it?

kidshoalin Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) try restarting your computer first with USB plugged in, if that doesn't work go to your Launchbox/Backup and unzip the latest backup, then copy the files from that unzipped folder and paste it into your Data folder in launchbox, you can delete the files and folder first in your Data folder and then proceed to copy and paste the unzipped files into the data folder you should be fine after that, hope that helps you out Edited May 17, 2020 by kidshoalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilakebay Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 thank you, i'll try that. I've tried copying bigbox settings.xml from backups, but can't paste into bigbox data file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidshoalin Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) you need to paste it into the Launchbox/Data FOLDER try putting the settings.xml onto desktop then proceed to cut and paste into Data that might work, sometimes my external doesn't let me change a folder name, so I take that folder onto my desktop and change the name if needed and then proceed to put it back where it was Edited May 17, 2020 by kidshoalin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidshoalin Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 lol also I just realized you might want to use an earlier version of the backup because your latest might be corrupt from that unplugging so be aware of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilakebay Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Good advice. I need to take a short dinner break to decompress my brain, then come back to this. I will post my results, but am hopeful with the new ideas and information. Now I know how I can paste xml, and if needed go get a fresh one. Peace...
