Folks, I have an odd event happening from time to time. First the system setup; When I purchased this machine used a while back it had a copy of Win95 running on it. I ran the OS/2 Warp 3.0 fdisk and repatitioned the disk, I then formated the partitions C ( 10 megs) IBM PC DOS 7.0 & Win 3.1 FAT C (100 megs) OS/2 Warp 3.0 redbox HPFS D (100 megs) no OS HPFS E (320 megs) no OS HPFS I didn't think about it at the time but I ran format without any switches. Now the problem, from time to time a disk access will slow the system down so much that at first I believed it was freezing up. However if I leave it alone I will receive a message "a device attached to the system is not functioning". I now have several files that I have renamed "a bad spot". Any attempted to open or use those files will slow the system to sludge. Now when ever it happens I just rename the affected file. Any ideas? I'm wondering if there could have been something, like a hibernate memory image that the format didn't touch and is just sitting there causing this behavior? If no one has any better ideas I'll just back everything up and repartition and format with the /l switch.
