[Angstrom-distro-users] SOS - HDD Problems - Can anyone advise me please ?

[Alan J Munday (Most Rev.)]

I realise that this may be considered off-topic, but please 
excuse my intrusion in this way and I hope that you will be 
understanding, bearing in mind that, apart from getting the 
advice of the importer of my Zaurus SL-C3200 perhaps, or 
returning it to them to put right, I cannot find any on-line 
forum that might be more appropriate .

Unfortunately in trying to re-partition my drives in 
accordance with instructions, so that I can try distro's like 
Angstrom, I seem to have missed something in the tiny writing 
I have had to read and am now only able to get the Sharp 
screen and at the bottom HDD Error!

If someone among you who knows how to put things right would 
not mind contacting me off-list to advise me, please, I would 
be most grateful.

Similarly, (but perhaps a little more on-topic), if any of you 
have any tips on how to make some kind of tool that will save 
my fingers when trying to hold down letter buttons to put my 
SL-C into the appropriate maintenance modes, that would be 
wonderful too.

Best wishes and thanks

Alan
