Title: CD drive help!
Post by: Phonic on January 25, 2006, 01:23:37 AM

I just installed the CD drivers from copying the
OS3.9CD over to the HDD, installing it (In UAE) and my CD drive says
"CD0:Uninitialized"

Heeeelp!
(Please!)

Load devs:dosdrivers/cd0 into a text editor and change it to read

device = uaescsi.device
unit = 0

Bye,
Thomas

My apologies - I should have been a little clearer..

The OS is booting under a real A1200, I installed the CDROM app from within UAE via copying the installation CD to my Amiga HDD.

Can you post the contents of your CD0 mountlist?

Thanks for the replies, I've been out of the Amiga scene for far too long and I used to know all of this.

Is it... Click on CD0 in devs/DOSdrivers then "Information"?

God, I feel like such a bloody newbie, I should have never left in the first place - Damn you, Windows.

Then load devs:dosdrivers/cd0 into a text editor and change it to match your configuration

device =
unit =

Currently it points to your HDD which obviously is not a proper CD.

No. If I say "load it into a text editor" I mean "load it into a text editor" and not "change its icon properties".

You might drop the CD0 icon over the EditPad icon in AmiDock. This will load it into EditPad.

FileSystem=L:CacheCDFS
Device="scsi.device"
Unit=0

The CDROM is on the slave setting on the A1200s internal IDE port.

Change the unit to 1. Unit 0 refers to the master device (your hard drive).
