Nick, In my experience, this sounds pretty serious. When I had similar problems I would automatically back up my files, re-initialize the hard drive, and reinstall the software. It takes about an hour to complete. I don't understand the source of your hesitation but I'd bet it's the only fix short of buying a new hard drive. If you follow that route make sure you leave directories 0 and 1 free. The operating system uses those directories for administrative purposes. If you have problems I found Linda Turner at BD to be very helpful. The first time I had this kind of problem she walked me through it successfully. Gene Pizzo/UCONN Health ---------- From: Nick Goulding To: cyto-inbox Subject: Ailing HP340 system Date: Thursday, February 06, 1997 9:17AM The Consort 32 system software on our HP340 workstation is misbehaving. It loses files and directories, will not access certain directories and has lost volume #46. We can still run Lysis II and all the file utilities but can only store data files in one directory (#11:/APP/MAST/) Can we get things fixed without re-initialising and re-installing all the software? Would be glad of any assistance.
