[comp.sys.amiga.applications] Read/Write Phantoms?

doc@brewing.cts.com (Mitchell M. Evans) (01/21/91)

Howdy!

	I am having problems with my hard drive.  About every four days,
I have a read/write error on my hard drive.  I faithfully recover the data,
reformat the drive, and copy the data back onto the drive.  This is a royal
pain in the ass.  It takes about 5 hours.  When I use the AmigaDos info
command, it reads that there are *NO* errors on dh0: !!!  My hard disk 
utility program says that there are *NO* hard errors or soft errors.  If
this is the case, why the heck am I getting the requester?  Right now, I
am using noreq to ignore them, so that I can keep my mail feed up and
running.  Any help would be appreciated!  From anyone!  ACK!

There is a bug in 1.3 ADOS, something to do with the initial current directory.
Basically, put a "cd sys:" just after setpatch in startup-sequence and
you problems will likely go away.
If not that, then try "cd ram:" before running your mail feeder, or
anything else that changes directory while executing.
