	Hi, this is the guy with the fried A2500 again.
 Well, I finally got a copy of 'hddisk.device', (all but the info
file) but the hard drive still will not work when mounted...

I doubt the info file could be the cause of it... Oh yeah, I even used
the installation disk, and when I ran "prep disk", I got a software
error and a message saying that it couldn't open harddisk.device(32).
(The version you sent me was 34, according to AmigaMon). I really
don't know what to do at this point. I've lost 10 hours of labor that
didn't get backed up, and much more time from not being able to use
it while I wait eternally for the new parts to get to the repairman.
 
Also, the hard drive itself whines in a high pitched noise that's really
noisy, really noticable, and 30 times louder and more intense than
the high pitch whine from Televisions and CRT's. Is my hard drive bad?
Is the controller bad? Is Commodore Bad? Or am I just cursed? Well, on
the bright side, my grades should be signifigantly better now that I
can't put as much time into programming.
