d8b Forum

Hi,
I'm new in the forum.
My Mackie d8b doesn't boot anymore. After the message loading Application, the next line shows me App load failed, then remove disk and press esc key to reboot and after a few seconds the message unhandled PIC interrupt IRQE in the last line appears.
Also in the right corner of the display in red colour appears File I/O in po_read #3 Error reading file.
Is it a hardware damage, a software crash?
Can Somebody help me?

best regards from Germany

Tom

Quick suggestion:

Put a new battery in and reset the BIOS for yor motherboard then try again. Database has instructions.

Thanks for your advice, but I think it was the hard drive that crashed. I dubbed another hard drive with the operating system and it worked again. I've tried many other hard drives, like WD and Maxtors, but only the Quantum ran flawlessly.

HELLO...

Can you tell me which Quantum Hard Drive you brought and where you brought it from? If you brought it online. I'm having the same problem with my D8B Console. Changed the battery & BIOS and it still won't boot.

Thanx,
Warren

Better late reply than never:
If the harddrive has gone bonkers, I would suggest investing in using a CF card instead, as several of us has done.
So much easier to deal with than old flunky hard drives, and boots faster and quieter too
