HELP ME.....PLEASE!!!
Ok! Lets try.
|Stuff deleted here...{
Well, first of all, my Amiga decided that my boot partition (dh0:)
was no longer a DOS drive, so it refused to read/write it. I recovered
all the dh0: files with DiskSalv (thanks Dave) and backed up dh1:.
I then formatted the entire drive with the Map option on (using SupraFormat)
to map out the bad sectors (I know this wasn't absolutly necessary,
but I did it anyway). I restored dh0: with the DiskSalved floppies.
Then, my Amiga refused to boot from the HD, instead asking for a Workbench
disk. It seemed to only partially use the Workbench disk because my
startup sequence on dh0: was being executed. Anyway, I was trying to
fix my boot problem by using SupraEdit. When SupraEdit was run, it
would tell me:
Warning: Found invalid FileSysHeaderBlock structure.
Ok, this is something I have also encountered with my Supra Harddrive.
The problem is (I suppose) that you have also formatted whole
bootpartition info. You can write it again with a program called
SupraInstall (or something like that) and it can be found from
original Supra-bootdisks!
I tried coping dh0: to dh1: and changing dh1: to my boot partition, but
it still wouldn't boot from the HD. I played with SupraEdit some more,
changed my boot partition back to dh0: but nothing seemed to work.
Yes, it won`t help.
ok, the real problem:
The last time I ran SupraEdit I got the following messages:
Warning: Found invalid FileSysHeaderBlock structure.
Warning: Found invalid LoadSegBlock structure.
Yes, looks very familiar from my experience.
And now, when I try to boot the system I get a GURU!!!! I can't even
boot from floppy! The GURU number is #81000005.000007D8. WHAT'S
GOING ON????
This is certainly something, I haven`t seen. I dunno anything about
this! Sorry!
