------------------------------
Technical information: I have an Amiga 500 with a Phoenix PhD 48 meg hard
disk. I'm running the ARP shell (ASH) with Conman and the 1.3 ARP commands.
------------------------------
I tried a write command to one of my hard disk partitions, dh1: by name,
that my system didn't like ("move a.b a:b" where a: was a logical assignment
to a subdirectory of dh1:). The hard disk commenced to chitter violently, so
I rebooted.
From that time forth, dh1: has failed to validate. I get a requestor saying
Disk Validation Error
Key 8151 Already Set
and have to cancel the request to validate in order to bring up the system
at all. In consequence, the rest of the system has been ok, but dh1: is
only available on a read-and-execute-only basis.
What should I do to correct this problem? Do I have to reformat the hard
disk? Can I reformat dh1: alone, or will dh0: also be affected by any
reformatting? Is there a less radical solution to this problem?
Thanks.
Sincerely, Mark Steinberger
P.S. Is Key 8151 any relation to Catch 22?
