Hello Folks,
I don't know if this is as much a question, as a way to start a thread to discuss dealing with this type of problem, but, I'll just throw it out there.
So, I have the A2000 which I run OS 1.3 on, I know that the OS is ancient, but, I really like it. The system has 2 2MB memory boards and an A2091 SCSI controller with no memory on it and 7.0 ROMs.
I have a 4.3GB Seagate HD on the card, which *shouldn't* be an issue with the 7.0 ROMs, as far as I know.
I have the HD broken up into two partitions, DH0: and DH1:, and anytime anything goes wrong that has to do with the second partition, I get the whole problem of the drive either reading 100% full or 0% full, which are both completely bogus, and the volume won't validate and I get errneous read/write errors.
Now, fixing this is not an issue. I pop in QB tools and I let it run for what seems like days and the problem gets fixed, until the next time it happens.
Since I don't have the cash to go out and buy a smaller size SCSI drive and I am getting a little tired of having to eat up valuable R-Type II, Datastorm and Dungeon Master game time fixing the volume, I am wondering if maybe some folks can suggest, or we can all discuss possible ways to avoid this problem with the drive I already have. Maybe someone out there has a similar configuration and knows how to prevent this from happening?
Sorry for the long post. ;-D
Thanks,
Mike
