Issues with startup

[paul1981]

Ok, sorry. Let's first work on reviving the original Hard drive if possible.

I ran HD toolbox and did a "verify data on drive" and it came back with no reported errors.

Hello there.

What is the nature of the problem?
How large is the hard drive?
What are the sizes of the partitions upon it?

What CPU card is in your machine? Sounds like a 68040.library issue to me.
Do you have a 68040 CPU or a 68030 CPU in your machine? If you have a 68030 then make sure to delete the 68040.library as it's not needed and will crash your system (type this in a shell: "delete libs:68040.library").

If you do have a 68040 CPU then do a version check to make sure you're using the correct library: ("version libs:68040.library full") and let us know what you find.

Your 68040.library version seems ok, but it doesn't rule out that it's not corrupted.
Corruption of files could be caused by incorrect mask setting if using a CF card as a hard drive on the internal IDE (A1200, A600, A4000).

Are you using SFS? Are you using your CF now or a real hard drive? I believe SFS has different versions depending on which CPU your Amiga has...so it's worth checking you're using the correct version.

Try replacing the 68040.library with the one from your OS Install disk (I think it resides on that disk anyway).
