My first Amiga 4000, how to install Amiga OS?

[SACC-guy]

Hi,

I've got my first Amiga 4000, and workbench was installed but i've messed up partitions and won't boot workbench anymore.

I've got a original OS 3.5 CD here.

How to install Amiga OS?

Should a A4000 also show the kickrom(purple screen)?

thank you.

or you can use the emergency disk that should have come with the machine.
It's made when installing the 3.5 or 3.9 system..

BTW, Welcome!

Sorry, Thought the crowd chased you away.

Yes, all Amigas come up with the load workbench screen. The A1000 is the one that starts with a kickstart screen. This is because DOS (disk Op sys)
That can be the hard drive, but you said you messed that up..

So you need to use a floppy disk (3.1) to load workbench. Good news, this lets you fix your hard drive issues.

When you got your A4000, Did you get the six floppy disk set?

there's other ways too, But to help, we need info on what you have!

Didnt OS3.9 (and 3.5) ship with a boot floppy that has the cd drivers to mount the cd and install the OS?

Not to my knowledge.
But before installing, making a a emergency boot disk was the first thing to do for both upgrades.

I made an OS3.9 emergency adf with fat95 and diskimage.device, quite convenient

All well and good.
This does not help the OP, he messed up his working system and doesn't appear to know how to fix it.

We can help, but it might be better if he goes back to the person who sold him the 4000 to get the "things" and info he needs to move forward.
