I'm having a little problem with my 2000 that i was wondering if anybody had
any ideas about. I'll bring it back to my dealer if i have too but it is a
little drive that i don't want to make if i don't have to.
 Sometimes when iturn on the amiga (with the workbench disk already in df0:)
 i get a read-write error, use diskdoctor message. The disk continues to
bootup though and when it finishes it works fine except for one thing. I use a
high-res,overscan screen but when this problem occures, i am back to the
default screen, med-res,no overscan.If i do a warm boot i have my hi-res
overscan screen back again. The disk is isn't damaged by this although it
might be because i almost always have it write protected. This is a minor
inconvenience but i thought if it is a fortaste of something serious i should
get it fixed.
  One other problem. A few days after i bought my 2000 i turned it on, the
power supply came on, the power light lit, but nothing else. There was no
drive access. The workbench didn't boot, nuthin happened. I turned it off.
Tried it again a few times and still nothing. I disconected the machine and
hookedup my old 1000 and called aroud to a few local boards to see if anyone
knew what was wrong. Later that night i hooked the 2000 back up for the heck
of it and when i turned it on it worked fine. I've had my a2000 for over 1 1/2
months and i haven't had this happen again. Any ideas what this was?
        Thanks for the help and see ya'll at AmiExpo!
