- My OS/2 completely died. One morning I turned my machine on and
- the system failed to even display the OS/2 logo screen and just
- displayed SYS1025 and SYS 1027 errors and froze.
-
- I booted OS/2 from a floopy disk and ran check disk; some major
- damage was done to the EA's, and 2 files not related to OS/2 were
- cross linked. The EA's were fixed so I tried to boot the system
- again. It slowly, grudgingly booted and when the WPS came up
- a message box poped up and said that WPS ini files damaged and
- only a cmd.exe window was opened. For some reason this messaged box
- kept coming up and infinite sessins of cmd.exe's were being run.
-
- I turned off the machine and booted flopy again; no errors this time
- except for the 2 irrevalent cross-links. I booted hard and
- was greeted with 1025 and 1027. Zonkers!
-
- So I booted DOS (I have 1 FAT partition of 200mb on a Maxter 213a).
- I ran Norton disk doctor and it indicated that the FAT is damaged
- and repaired it. With that came the usualy bunch of lost clusters and
- cross links. I noticed both OS2.INI and OS2SYS.INI were in the
- casualty list.
-
- Anyhow I booted OS/2 again and 1025 and 1027 stopped it cold.
- So I rebooted DOS and ran Norton Disk Doctor only to find that
- more of the FAT was damaged and more files trashed....
-
-
- This problem has occured before during GA and I hoped that after
- I installed SP it would go away and it didn't. Is this possibly
- some kind of hardware problem, especially, hard drive or controller?
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
