Title: Not sure how this happened...
Post by: Matt_H on October 06, 2008, 03:25:29 AM: ...but I somehow managed to delete the startup-sequence from my OS4.0 partition on my 4000T. And of course I don't have the install CD with me. Could someone PM/post their startup-sequence for me? (No one's going to freak about about copyright nonsense, I hope?)

Thanks.

I have to object, 'cos it's not actually the startup-sequence installed with your OS4 CD. Technically, you're using the files from another CD, which means you're violating your user license.

*runs and hides*

:lol: :-P

I'd help you out, but I don't have OS4.0

Check your desk, the CD might be used as a coffee coaster. :-D

Post by: Matt_H on October 07, 2008, 02:29:10 AM: Sigh. So that's a "no", then?

@ T3000

I know exactly where the CD is: Not with me. :-)

cd .recycled
dir

You should find your startup sequence there and a simple copy back to S: will restore it.

Post by: motorollin on October 07, 2008, 09:57:58 AM: I have just done this in a UAE installation of OS3.9 which I use for preparing stuff to copy to my A1200. I think I rebooted too soon after saving the file (I had just been editing it) and it disappeared. I don't know whether the same thing can happen using an OS4 filesystem.

I don't have an OS4 machine but I do have a copy of OS4 classic. Would that have a working startup-sequence on it which I could email to you?

Situation's been sorted out. Thanks, everyone!

@ Hans_

Good idea, but for some reason I decided to not use the .recycled directory when I formatted the partition. Might reconsider that now.

@ moto

I'm 99% certain that the file disappearing was due to my own stupidity rather than a bug/feature :-)
