After leaving the computer on for quite some time I have lost my partition. The problem is that I do not know what software to use to validate or repair it again because of its size and configuartion. BTW, this partition did not become 'uninitialized' due to crashing or turning the computer off during a write. My basic configuration. A1200 '040 25Mhz Power Flyer with 810Mb boot drive (no probs!) on unit 0, 10.2Gb hard drive on unit 2, and Cd rom on unit 3. The 10.2Gb drive is split up into 4 partition 3.8Gb, 3.8Gb, 1.7Gb, 0.5Gb. However, the other partitions on this drive still work. I used to use Disksalv2 but I think that it might not work with partitions over 2Gb. What else can I use? Please help.

I use it myself with FUSION with my CDrom and HD. Works great. Oops, sorry then. I once tried to convince Fusion to use an IDE HD via scsi.device (yeah right) but couldn't. The solution was to mount it on AmigaOS' side as DH5: and then put it into Fusion's list of usable devices.

When I first saw it i was sure it was spelt wrong, so I did a single word spell check - in Outlook :-( . Wasn`t picked up as a mistake. But now, when I do a multi-word check it comes up. Either a). Outlook is crap, or b). I can`t use a spell checker. Tho s`pose could be both ;-) On the net, or at least in chat areas, people tend to write in a verbal style rather van propa English, like.

To hide the drive from the OS, Go to HDTOOLBOX, set the FILESYSTEM type to be CUSTOM 0x0. When you SAVE the changes to the drive, you will get a warning message stating that the partition will be destroyed.. ignore the message, nothing is destroyed. As no filesystem 0x0 exists, the Amiga will not be able to see it, but as it is still mounted, FUSION will. It also hides the drive icon as well.

That's exactly how much space HDToolbox says I have and mines smaller! I also am using FastATA (and AllegroCDFS) that came with the powerflyer. This in iself supports Hard drives >4Gb. The other problem is that the patitions show a negative value which makes installation of old software a problem (unless you use two HD's) However, I do have a suggestion for all of you out there who have two Hard drives and a CDrom on your powerflyer. Use one (smaller and slower) for booting in different formats (i.e Dopus, OS3.5, PCX etc.) and the other for other software. Also have a small partition on that hard drive called 'Work', this allows you to install older software where 'Work' is the default. Use the other (larger and probably faster) Hard drive for all your work and games. Have this set as a secondary master. And finally the CDrom as the secondary slave. The reason for this that you can still boot when the other drive corrupts, transfer rates are higher between all devices (the boot drive slows it down). I suppose I am just have to format that partition again in my case. Hope this helps.

Remember the ISP tarrif announced in mid-November, more details would be announced at the end of that month with a launch in mid-December? Then it disappeared from their web site, even from the news archives. > OFTEL may very well get objections from "free" ISP's who hold a telco > license complaining about "unfair competition" or the like. Hardly likely, since the other telcos have been able to offer this sort of service all along. Nynex did it in 96/97, Telewest were supposed to be starting such a service today. It's only BT that are restricted on unmetered calls, cable companies have been giving them for years. The "free" ISPs aren't excluded from Surftime, there's a pat as you go option (1p evenings and weekends, 2p daytime). BT have already hit the freebies with BT Together. Reducing the costs of evening calls and making it up with an increased rental reduces the interconnect fees available to the ISPs. > But if they > refuse BT permission, they (BT) can say something like "Well, we tried to > give people unmetered access, but OFTEL won't let you have it." BT and OFTEL seem as bad as each other, both blaming the other party while nothing gets done.

As soon as you speed up the available processor, the various timing problems and other hardware glitches in the 2B 1200 come into play. I got my 2B motherboard 'fixed' by Eyetech, and now it is fault free, despite being expanded out of all serious proportion!

Hisoft have an '060-friendly squirrel driver - although it doesn't seem to be on their website since the've revamped it. Try them on 01525 718181. All '060's need it - not just 060/75's.

Maybe they had a long Christmas break? :) You might find that DCE (who are now making most things phase5), will be more busy doing their BVisions and stuff. Give them time...
