"unable to open your tool"

[tonyvdb]

So after installing os3.1 and upgrading the rom to 3.1 there seems to be an issue with some of my programs. They come up with "unable to open your tool 'xxxx'" what gives?

[tonyvdb]

Ive never used as I've not heard of snoopDos

[tonyvdb]

For example if I try to run the program protracker, it says "unable to open your tool 'protracker' " it's happening with a few of my programmes and games but if I put in the floppy and click on the protracker icon on the disk it loads just fine. If I copy the file back over to the hard drive it does the same again.

[tonyvdb]

The only icons I've changed is the hard disk icons (system, work, games, and so on)

[tonyvdb]

Ok, found something interesting. If I put the programs that don't run in my work partition they work fine but if they ar in any other partition they give me the error.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the video, Remember Im using the A2000 with workbench 3.1 so I dont have all the extra information when I look at the icon info. I will look at it tonight once I get home.
I ran SnoopDos and nothing came up when i tried to load the programs with the error. Could It be a problem with how I set up those drive partitions? Remember my Work partition loads these programs fine if i place them in Work.

Here you go, a screenshot of what is happening...

[tonyvdb]

How do I undo that or at least fix it? I can just copy everything to my work drawer if need be temporarily
Ok, maybe you see that screenshot wrong, the (tool) is the protracker icon not the music partition.

[tonyvdb]

Yes that is the protracker program and that is all there is for the program. There is nothing else with it even on the floppy and both the floppy and the one I have in work work just fine. Other files are doing this also in games directory as well. I get the same message.

Just watching a tv show with the wife, I'll get back to this later. Ya ya I know my priorities are in the wrong place

[tonyvdb]

Ok here is the shell Music:

[tonyvdb]

Yes
What is the maximum size a partition can be on OS3.1?

[tonyvdb]

Just that one error, I used the updated FFS that's on the amigakit,s supplied OS3.1 install disks.
My system partition is only 300mb but work is just under 1gb and so are the others.

Edit: looks like I went over the 4gb limit so I removed compleatly the two partitions that went over that size. Didn't have anything on them anyhow.

So should I reformat the rest of the partitions just in case they got messed up?

[tonyvdb]

well, I did a full reinstall of the hard drive including the OS and now the problem is in the work partition as well. I give up on this drive. Im going to dig up another drive and try it tomorrow. Something is strange here.

[tonyvdb]

Files are also currupted during write, so after correcting MaxTransfer you have to copy all files bigger than 128K again.

Is this a setting that I can change during the initial setup of the partitions?
