Last night the person I work for gave the root password to someone so he could "fix" a tape drive. I came in this morning and now the hard drive has a DRIVE NOT READY error on boot up. It's on a 2.0.5 system with a 2940 controller. Will the 2.1.0 boot.flp and fixit.flp work on a 2.0.5 system? Does anyone know where boot.flp and fixit.flp for 2.0.5 could be downloaded? On the boot.flp is there a way to stop the install menu from coming up and get to a shell prompt? Please respond to this address. Thanks in advance. David Brockus
