Don,
Prior to the problem starting, we had modified nothing that I can think of.
Would a low level format of the drive, followed by the FORMAT command to
each partition straighten things out?
My drive currently has WORK:(31 meg), WB_2.x: (6 meg), and WB_1.3 (2 meg)
on it. WB_1.3 is not visible when I'm operating in OS 2.04 (which is 100%
of the time). I don't really need that partition, so I guess I could
increase the 31 meg partion by 2 megs?
I plan to boot, transfer operation to a Syquest drive
ASSIGN SYS: SYQ1:System2.0
that has all the data from both partitions on it, low level format and high
level format my hard drive, and then copy all the information back to the
new, blank partitions from the Syquest. Do you think this will help?
Thanks,
Rich
