Nasty problem in OS3.9

[Tenacious]

For some reason all of a sudden OS3.9 is giving me major hassle.

Once the OS screen came up it was saying "Attempting to load program WBCLOCK" and would freeze

So i rebooted with no startup sequence and deleted WBCLOCK from WBSTARTUP

Then next reboot it said "Attempting to load program Amiboing" and freeze again

So i deleted Amiboing from WBStartup

Now its saying "Attempting to load program C:Mount" and freezing again

WTF???

How can i fix this?

What file system are you using on your hard drive?  

I've seen this lately with PFS2, it usually means the media my boot partition sits upon is starting the slide to oblivion.  My SCSI drives are rather old.  I've had to re-think the way I organize and protect data.  For your sake, I hope I'm wrong.

Do you have backups?

How can i fix? I am sure it software

Does your HD have multiple partitions (SYS3.1, SYS3.9, Work:, APPS, etc)?  Is 3.9 installed on the first partition (DH0: )?

Just to be safe, it might be wise to backup your 3.9 partition, especially those files that make your 68060 play nicely with PIV, keyfiles, registrations, etc.  If it turn out your filesystem is corrupted, you can: reformat the partition, repartition and reformat the whole drive, replace the drive.  If it is something simple, well, you still have backups.

Again, I hope I'm wrong.  I'm trying to recover my system from what you are describing on your system.  When I fixed one non-sense error, others replaced it.  It was like the system had forgotten where to find things.  Eventually, it spread to my other partitions too.  I tried to backup too late to another HD.  When I tried to move data from a bad partition to the new HD, it appeared to work until it froze.  Upon reboot, no files had been moved.

Good Luck

Could the problems be related to the fact that the BATTERY is dead?

It seems there are some important parameters backed by the battery in an A3000.  I've never owned an A4000 so I couldn't say.
