I have a 2000 with bridgeboard and PC hardrive. The disk is partioned
for one partition for the PC and two partions for the amiga. The system
has worked fine for over one year.
My son has been using the PCwindow for some time for schoolwork. Last
week I closed the PC window, then closed the amiga windows before selecting
the icon for the other amiga partion. A window popped open, but with no
icons. Then I tried the other partion(which contains the PCworkbench) with
the same result. I rebooted, hoping things would improve. The startup
sequence proceeds just past djmount, and then I get a requestor saying
'not a dos disk in unit 0'. After cancelling this, I get 'not a dos
disk in drive 1'. After I cancel this, I get the first requestor again,
then the startup halts. If I move the CLI window, the Icons for the
amiga partitions are there but are labeled 'NDOS'. By selecting the icon
for the PCworkbench, I can successfully open the PC window, which works
as usual. Also, the PC C: drive is there and functions as normal.
QUESTIONS:
1. What gives?
2. I vaguely remember a similar situation posted to the net, with some
replies hinting of a virus problem. Could this be caused by a virus?
3. Is it possible to recover the files on these partitions, and how
would be the best method?
I would appreciate any help that might shed some light on this problem.
Thanks.
