OS39 and Fast IDE controller driver ATA3.driver problem!

[doctorq]

Not having much luck these days ;-)

Have you tried erasing all files ending with .prefs in the ENV-archive drawer in Prefs, and setting it all up once again?

Maybe you could just start the Screenmode prefs, and set the value of colours to a higher number, but this sounds to obvius.

Did you manage to get your SFS installed correctly?

Well, Thomas will most likely be the best to consult on this one, as he has a lot of the same hardware as you do, and I don't bother setting up my Fast ATA for the A1200.

If you erase all the .prefs files, the only thing that will be done, is that all your changes on the workbench will be erased. You don't need to install any files afterwards, just open all the prefs tools you need, and save the changes to the the settings that you like.

If you wan't to see which files the CDFS install program copies, then select to have a log file. Then you can track the files from the install script, and manually owerwrite the needed files afterwards, if the script copies an older file than the one on your harddrive.

I guess he mixed you up with me :-) I wrote a step-by-step guide on installing SFS onto a harddrive for him.

The post he is refering to is this.

[EDIT] The guide is approx. in the middle. [/EDIT]

@Thomas

well, actually a matter of what you find the easiest, isn't it?

I think the easiest way to install it is the way I descriped, as I can do it without using any floppy disks.

As the needed software only takes about 5 MB (OS3.1, SmartFileSystem, file handling program) the time needed for copying is less than 2 minutes, and the formating of the Workbench partition is also pretty quick.

But then again, it all comes back to what you find the easiest :-)
