-
- Nope, not if it works ;.) I had the same problem when I added a new HD.
- Just do a quick format and every thing is OK.

- Where's arq places on your HD (path). Try addith the full path to ARQ, you
- may also want to kill all output it creates ( >NIL: ) when you start it from
- user-startup. The command line will the look something like this:
-
- run <>NIL: drive:dir/arq

-
- I haven't been able to get BattleChess run from my DH either, even when I
- use the HD installer, do all kinds of assigns and much more trick.
