- I once had a HD-crash and my system wouldn't start either then.
- I have my 1GB HD split up in 6 partitions and DH4: was the one
- which gave all the trouble.
- So I reset my Amiga. Hold down both mousebuttons, entered the
- BOOT-MENU and disabled my DH4 partition :)
- Now my HD would boot again so I could make a copy of DiskSalv :)
- Then I rebooted and enabled DH4: again.
- Then I booted from the original WB3.1 disk and started DiskSalv
- to do its miracles on my corrupted DH4: partition.
- It made me aware of the fact that I would have to go out and buy
- the commercial version of DiskSalv. :)
-
- Just thought I would add that you could also disable any drive in
- the bootmenu.

- Good Luck,
