Hi!  Part three in the continuing saga of my hard drive crash.  The only
suggestion I've received is  to 1) remove the "mount = 1" line from the
mountlist, then 2) mount the partitions one by one and 3) use disksalv
to recover the contents so I can 4) reformat the sucker.
Well, it crashes when I try to disksalv it.  ANYTHING that accesses any
of the partitions causes a guru!  The kind of guru Gomf3.0 is helpless
against, in fact... the messiest I've ever seen.  It shifts the entire
workbench screen down 1/3 of a screen so it can put a black region up
top, then it displays the normal guru message.
So HELPHELPHELP!  I really need to get this system back to working order
('cause I'm trying to model a stellar atmosphere by next week!)  ANY
ideas are welcome, email whatever gonzo suggestion I can try, up to and
including black magic, but I gotta get my hard drive online!
