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...
