  Hey there out in UseNetLand... Having a bit of trouble with my
SH204 and was wondering if anyone had encountered the same problem, and
more importantly, come up with a fix.  My problem is that my D: partition
either doesn't have a BPB (Bios Parameter Block) or the one it has is
corrupted... I have reformatted the HD *TWICE* and still no luck so
apparently HDX v3.01 doesn't reset the BPB.  I have 3 partitions on
the unit. C is 10 meg, D is 5, and E is 5.  IF I try moving a file onto
D: I get TOS error 34 and the message "Path not found".  A few of the
programs I have check each drive online before executing and when they hit
D: they give "Error reading BPB" messages so I am almost POSITIVE that
this is where the problem lies.  Partitions C and E work fine.
  Any suggestions, hints, clues, pointers to programs that would fix this,
etc would be GREATLY appreciated...
