My Atari SH204 hard drive has recently been having problems.  It
didn't want to autoboot, load programs or do much of anything.  I had
a backup that wasn't too old, so I tried to fromat it with Atari HD
Utils V1.7.  I got over 150 errors while formatting it before I gave
up.  I then got Atari HD Utils V3.01.  I gave it a shot, and formatted
it with no errors.  I thought I was in business.  I installed the auto
boot with the Atari Install program.  I then proceeded to reboot and
restore.  I had previously partitioned it into two ten meg partitions.
After the restore, which was about 4 megs of data, I rebooted.  The
desktop came up with drive C and D there.  When I opened up C, most of
my directories were only 1 letter.  I clicked on some of the folders
and they wouldn't open.  I also booted with Folder100 program so I
know it wasn't the 40 folder bug.  I hate to send it back if it is
only a minor problem like a bad cable or something.  At first I
thought it was the drive mechanism, but when it formatted with no
errors I changed my mind and am now confused.  Can you tell me what it
sounds like to you, if that is possible from what I have told you
here, or what other options I can try before I have to send it to get
fixed/replaced.  Thanks.
