Ok so I was mucking about with pal convertor type programs plus Degrader.
Workbench starts locking up during boot. Try some other autoboot stuff which works. Pop a 1.3 adf. It starts doing the same. An Amiga Format adf that boots into wb now stops.
Curious I take the GVP off and try booting the 1.3. Same thing. But then I load a 1.2 wb. Works. Hm.
So I put a clean wb 1.3 image from Amiga Forever Essentials and it works.
Am I looking at a virus issue? Degrader 1.0 or 1.1 hard writing itself stupid onto my hd and other disks with Wb loading that now for some reason want to do whatever it did?
Is there a way to fix it other than a complete rewipe of the hd?
