Well, my luck finally ran out I guess... After several years with no real hard drive problems, Handshake 2.20c finally did in one of my partitions... Just at the beginning of a download (as it was opening the output file I assume), the Amiga crashed and when it tried to reboot it found that DH0: needed validation. About 3-5 seconds after beginning hard drive access the Amiga gurued... This happens every time it tries to access DH0: I used DiskSalv with the 'NODOS' option to recover all the information onto DH1:, so I have all the data that was on the drive, but my problem is that I can't get DH0: back... The Amiga FORMAT command accesses DH0: and 3-5 seconds later - GURU DiskDoctor, FixDisk and DiskSalv (w/o the 'NODOS' option) do the same thing, so unless they have switches I am missing they won't help me... Is there a way to solve this without doing a low level format of the entire drive?

I took an older version of the FastFileSystem: ffs 36.35 (20 Sep 1990) and rebooted. After I was able to access the partition without hanging or guruing, so format! -- \___/ Jean-Michel Forgeas \-/ cbmvax!cbmehq!cbmfra!swinjm!forgeas | The Software Winery -^- And, where is the universe ?
