Mixed up drivers

[A1200Power]

Pfew,

I finally got my 4000T up and running with a 20 gig ide drive. But i have some trouble again with the IDEFIX 97' drivers. After the install it give's the error that my partition has got bad blocks. I have divided the drive into 4gb & 16gb partition.

After the removal of the idefix drivers then the problem is also gone. So i recon it has to be the drivers.

In my last topic i got the remark to do someting with "skip rom update" i really don't know how to do that.

Someone got a walktrough?

I use the IDEFIX 97' driver because i need them for my cdrom player.

Or is there another way to activate my cdrom player without the IDEFIX driver ??

Kinda feeling stupid,

I have copied my atapi.device to the DEVS directory, so far so good. Also copied the CD1 to the DEVS/DOSdrivers folder.

But when i boot the cd-rom does not mount or anything. I also tried mounting it with MOUNT (tools folder). It is there but i cannot find the Rigidbootblock ?

Strange because i need some sort of walktrough before i screw up my os3.9 again.

What the F*CK am i doing wrong??

Hi Thomas,

As i was aware of the problem concerning the mix up with the drivers.

Here is how i did it.

- Formatting the 4gig partition using the workbench 3.1.
- Installing workbench 3.1.
- Installing idefix 97' for cd-rom activation.
(there are no problems yet because i didn't format the 16gig yet)
- Creating a RESCUE DISK os3.9 (it uses the idefix for cd-rom acces)
- Booting with install disk from 3.1 again and format the 4 gig partition.

- No i do a clean install using the RESCUE DISK. I do not copy the cdrom drivers to the harddisk because they cause the problem.

- After the 1st reboot i can acces the 16gig partition and format it.

- Then i install the cyberstorm MK1 & cybergraphics drivers for the hardware.

From THIS point on i need some sort of guide.

Thanx for the support allready.

Hey Thomas,

Thanx again for the fast reply. I'am gonna try this option for sure.

By the way i did forgot to tell you that i indeed use a 4-way ide adapter to @ more devices later.

On the bootdisk i allready put in the 68040.library for my mk1. There is is telling me that am dealing with a 040 cpu and not a 060. (strange cause there is realy a 060 on the board) Needles to say that is also maybe a driver problem.

Anyway i also tried you SKIPDROMUPDATES "scsi.device" but that didn't help much because i still got errors on my 16gig partition.

So lets hope this option is gonna work for sure.

Bye Henk
