- Does anybody know what the procedure is for cleaning and reprepping a
- SCSI drive on the Amiga?
-
- It is 1.7gb in size and is connected via a GVP scsi interface into my
- GVP A1230 accelerator. Due to a tragic series of events, my Hard Disk
- became riddled with read/write errors (ending in the loss of my BBS).
-
- I can easily quick format and write partitions to the drive using
- Expert Prep that came with the GVP scsi interface but when I come to
- tdoing a full format or actually installing stuff, it says cant format
- cylinder 1923 etcetc or says read write error on Dhx:
-
- I can write to the disk in theory, but because of all the errors,
- nothing very usefull.
-
- Help me!
-
- Please post responses via email as I am not plugged into this group.
