I would try a clean install of the OS. This places all your old system
files in a folder and install an all new OS

I've had a mysterious problem with a new (to me) duo 280.
I was trying to make a ramdisk, andput a system folder on it. I
rebooted, and the internal hard disk had disappeared. I've made a boot
disk, and rebooted from it. Still no sign of the hard drive. Then I
made a ram disk, and put my emergency boot disk system folder on the
ram disk. When I boot up off that, and run Norton disk doctor, disk
doctor will claim that there is no problem on my still invisible hard
drive(except that the system clock does not match the control panel
clock). When disk doctor has got near the end of its task, as it
begins the last of the six boxes, checking files, the hard drive and
all its contents will suddenly reappear. Disk doctor will say that
everything's fine. But when I start up again, there's no sign of the
hard drive again.
I've tried moving my emergency system folder onto the hard drive
(renaming the old system folder), and using the cdev 'startup disk' to
assign it. But still no joy.
Anyone able to explain, or suggest a way out?
