That does not sound right. When PhotoDesk is busy, then you cannot do
anything but wait. If you could change screen resolution, then
PhotoDesk was not busy and may not even be involved.

Next thing ADFS gives me a failure telling me that my harddisk isn't
formatted!!!

I inserted A Disc Rescue Floppy
from looksystems (which is fortunatly readable) but !fixmap, !DiscED and
!Repairdir can't do anything.

Doing this may have been an exceedingly BAD IDEA. I hope these tools
have not attempted to write anything to the disc, otherwise you might
just have destroyed it beyond repair. Do these tools even know about
the new RISC OS 4 hard disc format?

If there is anything that can help you, it is DiscKnight.

Everyone should always have a floppy with this program on ready. It is
easily worth several times the small price it costs.

It might also be worth checking the hard disc connector.
