Is it possible to make a 3.5 Emergency Disk?
« on: October 19, 2011, 12:05:24 AM »
I always get to the part where it is copying over the Screenmode.prefs then I get a script error.

I have been using a retail disc too btw.

Next to the last, and yes, that's what don't work.

Ya, the 3.9 emergency disk process always goes smooth for me too.

What I've been doing here is installing 3.1 in WinUAE, then booting into 3.1 install and trying to make my 3.5 Emergency disk from the installer on the CD...

As I see no other way about this.

I know I could simply just upgrade 3.1 to 3.5 which I've done in the past, but I'd really like to be able to install 3.5 straight without having to resort to 3.1.

That gives me an idea:
1. Install 3.1
2. Open Screenmode prefs
3. Hit 'Save'
4. Create emergency disk

I think there is no screenmode.prefs on a stock 3.1 install - that might be why it's failing.


Hmmm... Will try.

That did the trick...

I guess I've not touched touched 3.5 in years, I'd forgotten that it was an upgrade package and can not be used as a stand alone OS (without 3.1) after all...

Hence defeating the point of my quest here all together. :)

Well now it's installed again, time to look for ways to make it more friendly with my 25Mhz 030 a600..

Indirectly inspired by Karlos. ;)
