OS 3.9 INSTALL PROBLEMS

[Framiga]

Hi DGB,

first create the Emergency Disk (from AmigaOS3.9-Installation).

Boot from the Emergency Disk (that will ask you the AOS3.9 CD) an try to install AOS 3.9 from there.

Do A "Full Installation" and NOT an upgrade.

Ciao

EDIT- mhhh!! i'm not 100% sure, if the floppy disk for the Emergency disk, must be a HD one.
Mine is 1.5 MB in size, but there are some extra stuff on it.

Hi DGB,

are you sure that is an original AOS 3.9 CD?

AFAIK, there is no paper doc bundled with the OS3.9 CD (almost not with mine) but some resellers, has done a little printed manual to help the users.

Anyway the "Create Emergency Disk" option ,is inside the Main "AmigaOS3.9-installation" icon.(that is in AmigaOS3.9:OS-Version3.9 dir)

Start those icon and you should see the "Create Emergency Disk" option.

When you insert the AOS3.9 CD, you should see:

1-CDDA icon

1-AmigaOS3.9 icon

1-Emergency-Boot icon

Can you see it?

Which CD filesystem do you have?

On the CD, there is a full CacheCDFS (OS-version3.9/CacheDCFS)

Ciao

PS- try to run SnoopDos during the installation attempting.

@ DGB

FIRST

i would like to suggest you, to be more educated with who is attempting to help you

SECOND

if you don't see the CDDA icon, there is a problem with your ancient filesystem

THIRD

Bye, bye :-)

PS- The CacheDDFS present on AOS 3.9 CD, has its own installer.

Hi DGB,

no problem . . . .the real "problem" is that i've an AOS3.9 CD, that seems different from your!!!

Anyway, try to search if there is a dir called CacheCDFS inside. It has its own installer (here).

Mine is in:

CD0:OS-Version3.9/CacheCDFS  (where CD0: stay for AmigaOS3.9: icon on WB)

Good luck and Happy New Year
