TootTime (GS+ Mag) makes my IIgs freeze up.



This is my IIgs:

Rom 01, Zip 7/64, heavy duty power supply, 40 meg Scsi HD, Ram 4000 
memory card.

Yesterday I installed BOOTTIME (author: Chris Vavrushka), which was 
presented in the Sept/Oct issue of GS+ MAGAZINE.

BOOTTIME is a control panel that  is supported to tell you how many times 
your GS has normal shit-downs vs. sudden crashes.

Well, BOOTIME is batting 1000 now : My IIgs is frozen up on every boot!

It worked o.k. for the frst 5-6 boots, but NOW, when I load, the BOOTTIME 
DISPLAY does not appear, but the computer "freezes up" when the 
loading-thermometer indicates that the load is almost finished.  It never 
reaches the finder!

I realize that there is _probably_ an incompatibility between BOOTTIME 
and my other NDA, but how can I recover the finder?   I have many 
valuable files on my hard disk and none of them are now accessible.

Also, I tried to reinstall System 6.0.1 (which is on my hard disk), but 
the 
3.5" disk-based finder does not recognize the hard drive (slot 7, drives 
1 & 2).  Also, I loaded Copy II Plus v. 9.1 from a floppy to see whether 
I could delete the BOOTIME file.  Copy II Plus 9.1 nrecognized the hard 
drive, but the system crashed into monittor when I tried to get a 
directory listing.


Please advise: How can I remove BOOTIME from the hard disk when the 
load stalls before I reach the Finder?
