[comp.sys.amiga] dead hard drive on a A2000

bad@cbnewsc.ATT.COM (william.j.dwyer) (08/08/89)

I own an Amiga 2000 along with a friend of mine. We have a 
hard drive and version 1.3 with autoboot EPROMs that 
automatically go to the hard disk when turning the computer
on. Yesterday, apparently the computer stopped being able to access
the hard drive. When turning the computer on the Amiga seemed to
try and read from the hard disk, and then it asked for the workbench
disk.  The computer doesn't seem to be able to mount the hard
drive at all. If anyone has any ideas as to how to regain access
to the data on the disk without reformatting it could you please 
email me your suggestions. The hard disk hasn't been backed up 
for a couple of months so any ideas as to how to save the data 
would be appreciated. Please email me your suggestions if you
have any, and thank you very much in advance for any help you
can offer.
