So, I got the CD/ROM version of A/UX 2.0 yesterday, and set off to install it. I had previously had a partition at the start of my 300Mb Wren IV, and so I moved it with SilverLining. I selected the partition set that included A/UX 2.0 support and SilverLining told me it had to move my partition. Was that okay? Sure, I clicked. It showed me a thermometer as it did the moving, and when it was done mumbled something about the header blocks (?) not being right, and should it use the backup versions? Sure, I clicked (what else could I do?). Then I rebooted and I can no longer access my disk. After the Welcome To Macintosh window comes up, it begins to violently blink at about 10-12 blinks per second, and the machine is dead. Has anyone seen this before? How can I boot MacOS in order to check out the partitions? If I disconnect the hard disk from the SCSI chain, I can boot from my internal hard disk. However, I cannot recconnect the external drive at this point. Am I screwed? What can I do? Should I just degauss and try again? I have a backup, but it's not that recent; I could reconstruct, but I'd rather not. /jordan
