Got OS 3.5 and 3.9.. but cannot install :/

[Vittek]

Heya all
Today I got my copies of OS 3.5 and 3.9 from Vesalia.
So I tried to install it over my OS 3.1 on my A1200 which has a 1230 Turbocard with 32 ram.

First I tried to install OS3.9 but whnever I choose the install new and click continue it greys out for a moment but nothing happens...

And well same for OS 3.5 when I try to install the new install it tells me to run the pre-install first but that gives the same error, it just blinks but does not continue.

So I tried to reinstall OS 3.1 but the installation stops with   "Cannot copy file in line 4519, Unable to access file or drawer, object in use"

So I'm really smacked down I waited weeks for the new OS to finally arrive and now it seems to be not working.

Anyone got any idea on what I could do?
Any help is appreciated

I made that boot disk for 3.9 but when I boot the amiga with it it gives me error that volume OS3.9 is write protected (even it's not) and stops there.

Edit: The Turbcard is a Phase 5 1230 IV and no there are no SCSI kits or anyting the CD-ROM is on the same cable like the IDE HD, using IdeFix97 to run the CD rom.

As I see here: DH0 System

Maybe this helps: When I boot the amiga with the emergency disk I get the following error (after a while of loading):

Volume AMiga OS 3.9 is write protected (The install CD I take)
And in the AmigaDOS I get the following error: Can't find RAM:T

Wah!

How do I open a shell? Please forgive as I'm pretty new with all the Amiga things

Explain as you would explain it to a first time user :p


And where do I copy all the files to? And what's saving my "S"?

The problem is I can't even reach WB with the emergency disk as it stops with the above mentioned error and if I hit cancel I land in a bare WB screen with no options icons or anything.

But thanks for the help so far! You're the one giving me faith in all this

Yes it says Kickstart version 39.106

[Vittek]

Doh! Well ok I need to get 3.1. How do I know it's a 3.1 from the ouside of the chip?

[Vittek]

Ok thanks everyone looks like I made a huge fool out of myself I'm gonna order and put those new Kickstarts in and try again then.

Thanks everyone!!!

I just installed the 3.1 ROMs

I actually had a old spare A1200 laying around that I hotwired  by accident But I saw it still had the 3.1 roms and well they worked and as I write this OS is getting installed on my amiga behind me !

Thanks again!!!
