Hi, can someone please help me? I've got an Amiga 500 (Rev. 5) with a GVP A530 Turbo (4 Meg RAM) and DOS 3.1 ROM (with 2.1 l. ed). When booting from the Hard Drive (dh0) I get a "dh0 not validated" msg followed by "block 101737 has a checksum error". I gr eatly appreciate any ideas. Thanx./exit

Roman, That means you need a disk-repair program. You will not be able to write to that drive until the problem is fixed. Another option would be to backup the drive, reformat it and then restore the software. If you choose this route, make sure you have a WorkBench disk that has the restore software on it. Don

Roman, The A530 Turbo utility disk that comes with your A530 has error checking for your HD. You'll probably have to reformat, everything that you need is on that disk. Jason
