Okey-Dokey, I edited my last big post and added the startup-sequence file, the startup-sequence.hd file and the user-startup file. the startup-sequence file is where Bootman is being executed, so since I broke that, I commented out the line: run >nil: s:BootMan, and then rebooted theAmigaafter taking out the GVP hard drive controller, and reconnecting my existing hard drive tro the GVP 68040 accelerator card. And Whoops, the computer now locks up in booting as it did after I messed up BootMan. Soooo, I booted from my floppy WB 3.1, and ran Diskmaster II which let me rename the files, so I renamed my offending startup-sequence to startup-sequenceold, and renamed the startup-sedquence.hd to startup-sequence. This works to boot up though I get and error as 'Speak' dose not exist, and I also am back to getting the please insert volume HELP in any drive (which I do not know anything about), but I just cancel that and the boot completes. I can not run Black Crypt from the hard drive as I guess it wants a WB 1.3, though I am certain I was able to run it before my original battery leakage misery. I am also still unable to run the Startrek demo I mentioned previously, as it says can't open my "c:superview.3" even though I have not done anything to cause that file to be unavailable (that I know of anyway, yet I can not find it either). The computer boots up into the screens created by MagicWB as it did before my misery (can I call the battery leakage that LoL?), and OPUS 5 works the way it use to also. Now, I wonder if the stuff that is started in the 'new' startup-sequence file is what I need for all my booting needs (I really did not need BootMan)? I have an other file called starseq which looks like a renamed startup-sequence, and I will attach it to this post. My problem here is that I don not understand all the sets, assigns and the commands issued inside the several 'IF EXISTS' routines, so I don't know what is important and what is not. Mostly as long as stuff works (my hard drive, the floppy's, the music card, and maybe if I get the energy to try my SyQuest drive which was working before my misery happened. If anyone that has a better grasp of the AmigaOS commands and what they do can direct me to adecent book on the stuff that would be nice, or I could ask for someone to give me a tutoring in it but that is asking a lot from some one. So here I am your humble idiot, Tom
