Why would your HD not be working if you copied some adf's to it by mistake, makes no sense as they are only files... :confused:

Sounds like you have somehow (dunno how though) overwritten the HDs RDB block or corrupted the HDs file info blocks structure... :(

Don't suppose you have your RDB saved so you can restore it easily again... :)

If not it looks like you're going to have to re-format and maybe even repartition your HD again... :(

Curious to know though, what where you using and what do you mean by "I was doing "file to disk"... :confused:

When copying adf's to an HD all you do is copy them with the copy command or using something like DOpus or Dirwork... :)

Ahh... I see... :)

First of all I've never came across someone managing to write the adfs directly to an HD's blocks (wouldn't have thought it was possible) and by the sound of it, if you have managed to do this then I'm betting you've overwritten the HD's RDB Blocks... :(

Whatever the case it looks very much like your going to have to ReInstall your HD like Smerf has said... :(

You'll need to google around and try and get hold of the Workbench Disks and in particular the Install disk, eBay or someone here is about your only option of getting these as AmigaKit don't sell them... :(

Hopefully someone here will be able to supply you with a Workbench disk set but without them you up a creek without a paddle for now... sorry... :(

There are a few members here from around your way, hopefully one of them can help out... :)

Reckon my wee campaign to get the WB disks made easily available is proven right with this thread... ;)

OK, so you need WB1.3 Disks. I can send out a set in a couple of days. You can PM you name and address to me.  :)

Erm... now you'll have to put up with the copyright mafia calling you a pirate and getting this thread shut down... ;)
