David,
One of the most common reasons for munging a hard disk is using the Vulcan
nerve Pinch (CTRL-Amiga-Amiga) too soon after w write operation. If you watch
your drive LED, you will see a write happen, then a 3 second pause, then
another flash. The second flash is crucial. You should always wait fo it
before you reset. I don't know if that's your problem, but it bears repeating
for HD owners.
Regards, Larry.
thanks, that's helpful info. I believe I munged it by messing with icons and
directory names – used the wrong icon type, renamed it, erased it, etc. I'm
glad for the 3-sec info on the drive. – dr
Its amazing how hard that is to learn – on a floppy you tend to hear it so
you remember, but on the hd you don't. Either way, it is a real pleasure to
have a smoothly working hd!
