[comp.sys.atari.st] Disappearing Drives

Kent_Cavaghan@mindlink.bc.ca (Kent Cavaghan) (05/19/91)

Hello all,

Ever since I picked up my Mega4 STe, I been having intermitted problems with
not being able to access a partition on my hard drives (it seem to happen to
all of them at one time or another). I get an error message saying something
along the lines of "that drive is not accessable". I can get to the drive by
accessing the path line on the file selector and editing it to the apporiate
drive. Something else that I have noticed is that I can access the drive but at
what appears to be several levels deep (ie: n:\\\*.*) even if the drive is
clean.

I have run into this problem when I've got nothing in the auto folder as well
as what I've got in there now. It doesn't seem to make any difference. As well,
it happens with Atari's hd drivers or ICD's (again, no difference). This was
also happening before I added my 2 Rodimes (115 megs).

The only thing that has been consistant is that it happens after a length of
time. Sometimes as soon as a couple of hours and in the last case, several
days.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks,
Kent
