[comp.sys.amiga] Hard Drive Hell

QP06%PACE.BITNET@cunyvm.cuny.edu (QP06000) (03/02/90)

Hello Net-Fans,

  Recently, I ran BAD on my 65 MB Hard Drive using an IVS Trumpcard,
with one Mac Partition and one Amiga Partition, and it seemed to
speed the Amiga Side up except for my MakeAb partition.
  So, I made a jlink file on the Amiga Side and copied the files to it
and then erased the MakeAB file and made a new one, copied the files
back and then.... It was still slow... (Definition of slow- It takes
38 secs to load Turbo Pascal 5.5 off of the HardDrive. Hmmm seems like
a 64 :) )
  I then, reformatted the Amiga partition and tried again to no avail.
I then decided to re-partition the drive into 35MB Amiga and 21 MB
PC (MakeAB) partitions. Having done this I restored the Amiga side and
created a new MakeAB psuedo-partition. Copied the files back to it and
it still was slow...
  Hmmm, Now I think it's time to ask for help, because the only thing
to do now, is reformat the entire drive. Mac,Amiga,PC and start again
but, that will take many hours to do. Is there any other ideas the Net
has? I'm getting desperate.... No, not that desperate.
