I know at least two other people out there in net-land  that  are
having  the  same problem as I.  Unfortunately, I lost their mail
addresses.   I posted this problem once before, but never saw the
reply (too many exams to study for.  No time to read news.)

The problem is: My system locks up (sometimes  )  when  accessing
the second partition of my hard drive.  It usually happens when I
copy files between partitions, but also happens by  simply  using
the  Workbench  "Info" command on a file on the second partition.
It seems to occur when both partitions are being accessed at  the
same time (ie: file copies between partitions; compiling with in-
clude files on one partition and source code on the other; ...)

When it "locks up", the following happens:  Workbench freezes and
workbench  icons are no longer redrawn.  Intuition is still func-
tioning (windows, screens, window/screen gadgets.)  Any task that
was  running  will continue to do so until it tries to access the
hard drive or floppies, at which point that task freezes.

Is this an amiga-dos problem,  hd-controller,  mountlist  parame-
ters, bad luck ....  I've tried many things, including a new con-
troller.

The drive is a Seagate 157N, with a controller by Expansion Tech,
used on an Amiga-500, OS-1.3, Fast File System.

Any idea what's wrong???

Anyone who has this problem (especially with an  Expansion  Tech.
drive) please send me mail.
