A3000 HardDrive Vanishes
« on: February 08, 2009, 03:54:34 PM »
I started messing around a little yesterday with an A3000D I picked up several months back because the price was right and started having a weird problem I have never seen before and thought someone here might be able to help me before I blindly start tearing things apart.  When I first start the computer everything seems fine.  After it has run for awhile (15 mins plus) it crashes and when I try to restart it I get a million errors about checksums.  To get it rebooted I need to use a floppy and when it boots the hard-drive partitions have vanished.  Gone.  I looked using DM2 and they are still gone.  Then if I load the Amiga HD partioning program it sees the drive as if it is there.  I shut off the computer for a half hour or so and when I tried to start it, it booted fine from the Hard-Drive.  15 minutes later it goofs up again.  Same thing.  I tried a different Hard-Drive and the same thing happened.  Has anyone seen this behavior before or have any suggestions?   Thanks,
Dan
