[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Getting 1.3 partition back on A3000 hard disk

whirt@cup.portal.com (William Bill Hirt) (12/19/90)

I'm posting this for user on my BBS:

I was wondering if you could somehow get a message to someone working for C=
on USEnet who might be able to help me with a problem I'm having. Following
is a description of the problem.

Recently I switched to a larger harddrive in my A3000. After formatting and
partitioning the drive, and restoring the files from floppy backups,
everything worked fine until I tried to boot into 1.3. Then, although the
machine loaded the kickstart file from the 1.3 partition, after this it came
up with "not a dos device in unit 6". when I booted from floppy, it said
"WB_1.3:DOSA" and the A was in inverse. my work partition did the same
thing, although the work partition is fine under 2.0 and the 1.3 partition
doesn't show up under 2.0. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem
and get back my 1.3 partition?

Thanks for any help you can give him.
