Problems transferring Twin Express to Amiga A500
« on: June 23, 2004, 08:50:59 PM »
Hi Every1,
At the moment I am trying to restore some ADFs to disk to use on my Amiga A500+. I have run into a problem transferring Twin Express to my Amiga, by saving it on a PC formatted disk then, opening it with Workbench 2.1
When I try this, I get the Message: Not a DOS Disk. I have tried to format it on my Amiga, and also on my PC on the MS-DOS prompt and in My Computer. I still get this message. Also the when I put the disk in after loading Work Bench 2.1 The disk has no file name it just comes up as DF0:???? Please help!
P.S. I have had a look at my RAM disk on Work Bench, and it says it's full! The three folders that are on: ENV, Clipboards and T? Should I delete these? I don't know what they are as I have only just brought the Amiga off of e-bay.

Damn it! I was so close to getting it sorted! I mounted the PC0: device and tried to read the disk, the only problem was that I was still typing DF0: so this was causing the same problem.
If I manage to get the Amiga to  read the disk with Twin Express on it, how do I install the program to the ramdisk? Or don't I need to?
Also What do I do with the ADF file once its in RAM? I was told it would have to be coverted to a ADZ file, because the ADF file is to big to fit on a 720KB disk, is this true?

How do you find "show all" in Work Bench 2.1? Also I have formatted the disk on the Amiga, as a PC0: disk (full format, and named it) and when I put Twin Express on it from the PC (by dragging the file into it in my computer)All I can see is the icon for the trashcan, and nothing else. Also does the disk I'm using have to be a 720kb disk? The reason I ask is that the PC won't read the disk It says it need to be formatted?
