     Your hard disk may have become unbootable due to corruption of the "boot
blocks" on Track 0. The advice from Steve Nelson, Jeff Blakeny, and others is
to try restoring blocks 0 and 1 on Track 0. For instance, the "Block Warden"
block copy/edit utility could be used to copy the blocks from a bootable
ProDOS diskette to your hard disk.
