Whenever I try to use BAD (the HD and floppy accelerator)
it checks out my HD, and it says:
"Hm... Your root block seems to be missing."
Never seemed missing before! My amiga is in perfecto shape. All
partitions are wonderful and I have no startup errors nor
do I have any sector problems or errors on my Quantum 40 HD.
In other words, my drive is good, and bad is bad. WHat do
I do???
