can someone fix my amiga HD ?
« on: March 23, 2011, 01:53:07 AM »
Dear Friends:

My HD was definitely sick from a virus attack. ( a1200).
I reformatted the HD and left the WB partition intact.
If I skip the boot sequence and use 'load wb' command
the HD then works and I can use the HD.
If I don't skip the boot sequence, the HD will not boot.
Is there anyone I can send my HD so they can fix it
and then send back to me?
can someone fix my amiga HD ?
Thanks !!!

Hi:

It has been many many years before I used workbench disks.
I still have all original WB disks, the complete set.
I do not remember installing the WB disks, because it has been
many years ago.
Is it possible to:
reformat the WB partition,
then without turning off amiga,
install the workbench disks from floppies.
Is this all I need ?
And before installing WB, how can I set the size of the WB partition in the HD ?
Please help !!!

Hi:

@ Thomas
thank you for helping me,
I am just thinking, instead of hassling with the WB reinstall,
why not just keep The WB partition intact ( no reformat or reinstall )
and just boot w/o start up sequence, 'load wb' command
and just use amiga like that.
Forever keep booting w/o start up sequence.
What do you think ?

PS: Actually, I am not even sure if I was attacked by the Virus,
I just think it might but it might be not either, maybe something
happened with the startup sequence.
