Help.......  

My 80 meg Quantum ProDrive that has functioned flawlessly
until today has a problem.  I had added nothing to my system
except downloading a couple small text files (shouldn't matter), 
but when I went to boot up off the hard drive (as usual), the
"Welcome to the IIGS" screen comes up, and the thermometer goes
about half a centimeter and then stops.  The system just locks up.
I booted off floppy and checked the hard drive.  All my files seem
to be there.  All the system files are there.  I verified the
entire 30 meg boot partition with both the finder and Copy II+ v9.0.
Both tell me that there are no problems.  I can't seem to find
whatever is wrong.  Can anybody out there help me?!?!  I guess
you'll want to know that I have a ROM 1 GS with 1.25 meg RAM, System
5.0.4, 80 meg hard drive (subject of this message :-( 
I have a couple of NDA's and other inits, but I've been using all of
them for a pretty long time without any problems.  Anyway I don't
think it could be those anyway.  It doesn't seem to get far enough
into the boot process (about 1 sec into it and it crashes).
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.......

Thanks....
