- I have an AMIGA 2500 which boots from the usual 40 MEG hard disk
- and I have a Fujitsu 1 GIG disk on which I do most of my work.
- A few minutes ago the AMIGA crashed while deleting some files from
- one of the two partitions of the hard disk (I was try to run a
- communications program at the same time - multitasking isn't everything
- that its cracked up to be :( .) On rebooting the system doesn't seems
- to see the Fujitsu drive anymore. In particular, if I execute INFO
- it just says ``Not a DOS disk.'' If I run the HDToolbox program,
- it says Drive Type Unknown. After booting an icon for the disk does
- appear, but the name has been garbled - it say FDH0:_[VQ instead of
- the more usual FDH1.1 and FDH1.2.
-
- Please advise me what exactly is likely to be wrong and what I might
- be able to do about it. Thank you very much in advance.
