Don Neither I have a command in the startup that is causing the problem when I take it out it works fine but as sone as I add it the problem starts again (says disk not validated). The command is date to sys:s/last-start-date it writes the last date entered to the file. It worked great with 1.1 but not with 1.2 Can you help. Thank you very much and Have A Good Day…..

Ken, Try this… DATE > SYS:s/last-start-date That should redirect the output to your file. Don

WHy not just go DATE > NOW ? If you don't have something like the A-Time, when you reboot the machine the date and time will be read from NOW.

'Cuz that was the file he wanted it in. Don

That's a fair answer. But why?

That's a fair question….I don't know, I didn't ask. Don

I tried that to. When its done and workbench loads the disk is still unvalidaded. If I take the command out (date > SYS:s/last-startupddate) then every thing is alright. What gives. I'm thinking of dumping 1.2 and going back to 1.1 at least that worked. Ken Lazzaro

Ken, It works, I just tried it using 1.2 I added this line exactly: date > sys:s/last-start-date And after I booted, I have a file called last-start-date in the s directory with the date in it. You apparently have a corrupted disk…I'd make a new copy of my 1.2 WB master disk and try it again, it _does_ work. You are using both KS and WB 1.2 aren't you? That may seem silly, but mixing WB and KS disks can cause problems. Don

Don Yes I am using both 1.2 KS & WB I sure will try a different disk and thank you for all your help. See you and Have A Good Day….. KenL

Ken, If it doesn't work this time, let me know your exact configuration (drives, memory, etc.) and if possible, a listing of your startup-sequence. I'll try figure it out. Hopefully, it'll work ok thou. Don
