- I recently installed the new IBM1S506.ADD 12-19-92. I was happy that I could
- now see the remainder of my 630Mb ESDI Drive (>1024 cyl) but I now seem to
- be having some problems that I have never experienced.
-
- 1) I am now experiencing TOTAL (I mean total) lock-up of OS/2 periodically
- and they seem to be disk related. (Once after a cold boot I decided to
- reformat a DOS partition and before it started OS/2 locked up)
-
- 2) During a TE/2 download I decided to go to DOS and run a game to pass the
- time. I had just installed a PAS-16 Board that a friend loaned me and
- was curious to see if it worked. Well OS/2 locked up tight and when I
- brought it back up I was horrified to see CHKDSK start erasing corrupted
- files on the same HPFS partition as the TE/2 download directory. All the
- files it erased were not open at the time of the crash.
-
- If anyone could give me any help I would apreciate it. I have already
- expanded into the extra space and would find it hard to go back to the old
- driver.
-
- My system is a DTK 386/33 w/ 8MB. Fujitsu 630Mb ESDI HD and WD1007SE2
- controller. PVGA using the 800x600 Generic drivers and I am running GA+SP.
