I am having a very strange problem with my A3000 (WB 2.1, 12 MB fast, 2 MB chip). The second hard disk is a Quantum 105S partitioned into two drives, WORK2: and WORK3:. On a cold boot, the system reports that it "can't access drive WORK2:, Retry or Cancel." If I warm boot (Ctrl-Amiga-AMiga) the system will "find" drive WORK2: but anything that runs off of it in the startup sequence or startup folder will crash. AmiBack Tools and Quarterback tools both reported lots of errors on the partition. I re-formatted the partition and restored from my backup. All was fine for a few days and then the same thing started happening again! The other partition (WORK3:) has never failed at boot time, nor do the disk tools report any problems with it. Anybody have a clue as what I should try next?? -J
