- For all you Amiga "guru's" :)
-
- I've had my 1200HD/80 for a week and a half. The problem is this :)
- My Maxtor HD is acting flakey. It started giving me block errors as
- I put stuff onto the HD. Needless to say I immediately whipped out
- HDtoolbox and did a "verify drive." Five times I ran it and five
- times it came back with "No Errors"! However when I would attempt to
- read certain files I still got the "block error" requestor.
-
- OK me thinks, let us do a low level format! Well I tried and tried AND
- tried, but it never worked! Nothing was ever deleted! No Low level format
- was ever done! Before I yell at C= or my dealer, I thought I'd see if
- I was doing anything wrong.
-
- Can anybody give me any clues?
-
- Thanks,

- P.S. Sometimes I have to wait for ~30sec to a minute before I can boot from
- the HD upon inital power-up (cold start). Is this normal? (I get the
- 3.0 ROM screen with the floppy disk insertion animation)
-
- P.P.S. Does the 1200 have an internal RT clock? Sysinfo says I have one, but
- if so it is battery-disabled, because I always have to go to Prefs to
- set the time...
