Title: 3.1 install disk
Post by: royalcrown on June 09, 2013, 03:36:45 AM

Would anyone be willing to make me a 3.1 "install" disk...mine is borked and I am stuck at 85% on install.

Just the Install disk (has HDToolBox, etc)?  All of the others are fine?

I don't remember anything essential being installed after the 85% mark (all of the other disks).

I would, but would not be worth the shipping cost for you, what Amiga are you doing it on and what kind of hard drive (SCSI/PATA etc)? Easiest would be doing it via WinUAE if it's a PATA drive.

The other disks aren't the best, but work for now. IDK if there is any other probs because am stuck here. My install disk has a crc error when installing the file HDBackup, and so I am stuck.

It is a 3000 with actual SCSI. My PC is 2013 and so no old school serial or PATAor floppy.

Hmm, SCSI to USB are quite expensive (but could be worth investing in for the future), you could try to build a Null modem cable and try Amiga Explorer to transfer a ADF to floppy if you can floppy boot the A3000?

That would require a working diskette for the amiga explorer. :)

But you get error when installing, try booting from either HD install floppy or Workbench floppy, you don't need to install anything just boot from a floppy.

Then let Amiga explorer do the rest :)

Get an USB-RS232 adapter, download as disc image and then write with DMS etc.
If you got no terminal program you could just do "COPY SER: receiverapp" to transfer something small that can larger receive files with error checking and resend.
