Title: Still A4000 format problems easy questions HELP!
Post by: xrcxj on March 15, 2005, 09:48:56 AM
Upon Boot (it takes me several times to Boot up.  Sometimes as much as ten times.  Today was once.????
  No bootup a requestor states:  Not a DOS in WorkBench Drive...now why is that?

Using a floppy (emergency 3.9 startup disk)   SYS REQUEST Please replace volume 3.0 in any drive?????

Finally got 0S3.9 installed, ASIM as well, CD driver was located.... but when installing VT 3.1 first..."Max install takes 350 MBS Click Proceed to Continue...
I click Proceed but it doesn't)  Same when I tried install VT 4.3...

Checked Partitions and iPartition WorkBench read 4.5 g's...I set it up for 900MBS....   Why did it change.

Re-Formatted...Save Changes to Drive DO NOT SAVE....

What should the Boot priority Be  WorkBench "0"?  right?
Work: "0" too?  Should all the other partitions be "0"?

When I installed the VT 4.3it change my CD to "6...using asim it was CD4...why?

Changing /adding Partitions...very difficult because the left edge isn't clear...

more later...I can only do this in spurts  HELP me please.

Check the S:Startup-Sequence/User-Startup files in the Emergency disk. If there are some calls/assigns named "3.0", that "probably" doesn't exists on your system.

Rename it in SYS: (if it is related with the boot partition) or if ancient and unuseful, delete it (put a ";"  at the beginning of the entry)
