After a power off, when my wife's Iyonix hung, it would not reboot
giving an error of mapping in the !Boot.Resources.!Scrap.ScrapDirs.
It would not let me delete the offending files because of the
mapping error. From the command line I used *desktop and managed
to get to the desktop in mode 28 and used DiscKnight to check and
then repair the 9 problems it found.

On rebooting it appears to start ok and then gives the error
message "Please insert HardDisc4" and the floppy disc light is on.
This is before the pinboard appears.

I cannot get to the command line by pressing F12 once the message
appears and nothing allows me to break out of it. If I reboot, I
can get a command line by pressing F12 several times just before
the message appears.

The icon bar at the bottom contains icons for:

on the left: CD(:0) HardDisc Discs Floppy(:0) Apps RAM

on the right: monitor Iyonixlogo

I tried Googling for a solution and found references to the error
message but have not been able to fix the problem. One link I
followed where the problem appeared to have been written up gave a
404 error on the website.

I tried one suggestion I found:

*configure FileSystem ADFS *rename ADFS::HardDisc ADFS::HardDisc4

but rename gave the message that it was locked to stop changes

Others will no doubt be along to give further assistance but in the
meantime...

I wonder if the !Boot file is corrupted. If so you could regenerate it
but you need access to the hard drive to do this. It's conceivable but
unlikely that the fault changed the file system but check using
*status. This can be done from outside the desktop (ShellCLI).
Important things to note are obviously FileSystem: ADFS and Drive: 4.
