   BeOS5.03 Pro boot failure   
   31 Jul 04 03:08:35   
   
   I am not having fun tonight, as my BeOS5.03 Pro froze up, and when I   
   went and rebooted....it wouldn't. It said unable to find bootable volume   
   when I clicked on my bootable volume, so I tried on the next attempt   
   selecting my second BeOS volume, which is not bootable. This time it   
   takes me to the script that says hit any key and it looks for the boot   
   from hardrive, and then from the BeOS CD. Well I try the CD and it   
   lights all but the two icons on the right, and then I get kernel panic.   
   It says hit the space bar on booting, to go to safe mode booting options   
   and select CD. I do and it does the same thing, with all icons lighting   
   up to boot, except the last two on the right side of the screen.   
      
   I then unplugged that hard drive and plugged one in loaded with Redhat,   
   and the computer booted.   
      
   Got any suggestions, or did I just suffer a hard drive meltdown and I   
   just lost everything on it. If not, then can I convert possibly my   
   Redhat Linux hard drive maybe back over to BeOS and then be able to see   
   the other partitions on the non bootable drive, or maybe even get it   
   bootable again. I wish LOL   
      
   OK, let me have what the truth is on this and thanks for taking the time   
   to reply. As always, a faithful BeOS user....Dwight
