574.0. "Broken ST " by MRSVAX::MISKINIS () Sun Aug 20 1989 20:29

    Hello,
    
    	My ST is acting up again...  It may be the internal floppy drive.
    I can boot it up, but it had problems reading the internal floppy.
    I can click on DRIVE A, and it'll come up with the contents...
    
    I then click AHDI.PRG (to load the hard disk driver) and it comes
    up with the usual 'DRIVE is not responding" message.  I then click
    RETRY, and it then it runs the AHDI.PRG OK.
    
    If I click on SET PREFERENCES, and chnage the resolution to medium,
    I get my usual desktop screen, and it reads it from drive C.
    
    I can't boot from any floppies, and I can't get it to run any floppy
    based software (besides AHDI.PRG).  I can't format floppies either.
    
    Does anyone have a clue to what's going on?
    
    Does anyone know of a good place in the Marlboro/Worcester area to
    get service?
