I wonder why you resist so much to sytematically investigate the issue. It is a two minutes job to find out what the cause is.

At the DOS prompt enter CD to find out which partition you are booting from
Enter ed s/startup-sequence to add set echo on to the top of it. When you see which Assign command is failing, remove >nil: from it. Then see the error message and fix the error.

Most likely the error is either Name: object not found or Name: cannot be cancelled

The former means that either you deleted the directory which shall be assigned the name or that you are referring to a non-unique partition name and the name now refers to the wrong partition.

The latter means that you named a partition the same as the Assign which shall be created.

In any case it should not take more than another two minutes to fix it.

If a whole partition was missing you would get a "Please insert volume PartitionName into any drive" requester, which is not the case.
