[comp.sys.amiga] Hard Drive formatting woes

kpicott@alias.UUCP (Socrates) (11/22/89)

After a major 'deposit' made onto my hard drive by a runaway program I am
trying to reformat the sucker and restore from backups.  The only problem
is, I get a message saying "Handler not found".  This is on a 2000, SCSI
hard drive.   :Expansion contains hddisk.device, l: contains mountlist with
the same entries as I have always used (3 partitions, GlobVec=-1, BufMemType=0).

I Prep'd the first two cylinders, formatted the first partition and restored
it with no problems (it contains s:, l:, c:, etc..)  But, when I tried to
format the second partition I was greeted with the handler error.

Another fascinating thing that happens; if I try to boot off the first
partition of the hard disk (it contains everything I need) then I get the
cryptic message "LoadWB: error returncode 20".

I have RSFM (S stands for several) and can't find a clue as to what is going
wrong.  Has either of these problems happened to anyone else?  Help me,
please... I'm dying without my hard drive.. arrggh.. choke.. .. gasp...
