- Dear Reader,
-
- I have an Acron Archimedes R140 UNIX system, which due to bad
- sectors on the fixed disk drive fails to boot RiscIX correctly,
- Panic'ing before the boort process is complete.
-
- All the R140's that I have ever come into contact with have been
- pre-installed; is there any way to reinstall ? I have been quoted
- 150 pounds (UK Sterling) per hour for assistance from a couple of
- Acorn dealers, but my finances will not stretch to this extent
- sadly.
-
- Any pearls of wisdom gratefully received.
-
- Many thanks in anticipation.
