Seems to be a bit of a ghost town here, but I'll give it a whirl...
I had recently upgraded my A1200 to use AmigaOS 3.2 (ROMs and software). The update wasn't without its issues, as the software came on a CD, and my A1200 doesn't have a CD reader, and I haven't put a Gotek on it yet. I got the ROMs in the right sockets on the 2nd try, the ADFs of the software unpacked to discs, and I went for the installation. It went smoothly until I got to the Storage disc which cropped up with a error, and caused the whole installation to halt. I managed to get the Storage disc repaired, and started the installation again. This time it went through seemingly without a hitch. But, that's when the trouble started.
Long story made not as long, my A1200 now refuses to see the PCMCIA card slot (PrepCard says there's no slot). That was the only way I could get outside programs on my Amiga, and vice versa. Checking with the drivers and Storage, CF0 is up and mounted, but it's not reporting when a card is inserted.
Also, I have a boot conflict. It seems that I now have a DH0 and a DH1, and a DH0.1 and a DH1.1. I need to go to the boot menu when the computer starts (hold down mouse buttons), and disable either the ".1" drives, or the regular drives. Both sets of drives point to the exact same place, respectively.
So, you can see my quandary. Short of nuking everything on the drive and starting from scratch, are there any pointers someone can give me to permanently disable/remove the ".1" drives, and/or what I should look for to have my PCMCIA card slot active again?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
