[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Please help: Seagate ST296N will not Validate.

cash@cs.ucf.edu (Charles E. Cash) (06/01/91)

The main partition on my Seagate ST296N SCSI drive will not validate
correctly. When booting I get a system Requester that say:
Error Validating Disk
Key 77180 Already Set.

I am using an A2091 controller with it. 
After I hit cancel, the data appears to be there (EXCEPT for one directory,
whcih seems to have vanished). Of course I can not write to the drive
(at least that partition) because it is not validated. I don't really want
to anyway, as I may have to try and recover missing files.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to get it working again?
(other than the obvious backing up and re-formatting, which will have to
wait until I get another hard drive (in the mail now))
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanks-

cash@eola.cs.ucf.edu
