[comp.sys.dec.micro] General Failure on SST225

mark@ASNGAT.ASN.NET ("Mark Preston") (07/31/90)

HELP!!!

	Last night as I was getting ready to use my rainbow
to edit a file, I got a

General failure while reading drive
Abort, Retry or Ignore?

	Since I had problems in the past with loose cables
on the drive, I opened the box up and reset all the
boards and cables. I closed the box and booted off a
floppie and ran chkdsk. I lost a directory. While restoring
that directory, I got the same message as it was restoring
the last floppy. HELP!!!!!!! I bought the drive from SS.
Its a 20MB, SST-225 or is it a SST-255? Thanks for any
help offered.
