A1200 weird booting issues.
« on: October 06, 2007, 09:51:18 PM »
For some reason my A1200 wont boot the 1st time. The HDD lights flash like the unit is loading but then just stops.

When I reboot the A1200 it boots fine. its just the 1st boot normally.

I have std 2.5" IDE, HDD Blizzard 1220/4 RAM expansion, and Archos CDrom drive, with their cd drivers installed. and a network card sometimes.

I also notice that when the cd rom drive is connected it pauses, and reads the cd. I assume thats trying to boot from cd. Ill post a video up later.

Not sure what the text is. I thinks its somthing to do with an assign for a program ive moved/deleted, or for the AmiTCP bootup.

Im using an aftermarket Technoplus PSU to power it! I did have the golitath but the -5v went and the power light would just flash and screen go black.
