Load install and look at the system options and sync the mirror, even thought it doesn't exist. This happen to me recently and the problem was a dodgy SCSI cable, so you could check yours.

Leave your server on the 486dx2/66 and use the workstation as the Pentium, you will get a better prformance that way.. you don't really need a faster processor for the server. Your Pentium as a workstation will work perfectly and reliably with the 486dx2/66 as a server. I had a 486dx/33 NW3.12 server with many Pentium 200Mhz and they work perfectly well together... --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: Systematic BBS, Bronx, NYC (USA) (718) 716-6198 (1:278/111.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 194 NOVELL Ref: DGQ00004 Date: 12/19/96 From: ADAM OBSZYNSKI Time: 10:42am \/To: FRANK RAMSEY (Read 3 times) Subj: BIndery name.....

Stupid question. Did you write the changes to the disk? As I recall in NW 3.12, the default is save changes in memory. I always change the options to write changes immediately. framsey@goodyear.com; CIS 71631,1032 - CNE, CNA-4, PE --- EZPoint V2.2 * Origin: -- A Point on Pine Lake (330)-796-3146 -- (1:157/603.70)
