invalid rigid disk block????

[rossi46]

I'm trying to install a cd rom drive with squirrel SCSI interface to my A1200. If I had any hair, I'd be pulling it out. Mad

I have the installation software on floppy and the errors I get are:


1. volume ram disk full. (I ignore it and click cancel)

The installation continues, and then it says something about having trouble locating a drawer it's looking for at source. Then:

2. dos error 205.

I go into the SCSIMounter bit and my Sony cd drive is there and in a 'ready' state. When I select it and click on mount, it says 'invalid rigid disk block'

At which point I'm yelling W.T.F??? and switching the whole thing off in a temper Crying or Very sad Embarassed

Can any kind soul help me with this please?

Thanks for the replies, guys.

I finally got it working with the cd rom - I don't know how I did it - but it's running now anyway...

I was all set to give up, until I spotted the option to set up a cd boot floppy. I did just that and copied the missing files to my devs drawer, set the marker to [1], re-booted and the cd drive was there.

I think I was blindly pressing random keys at one stage in frustration, but all's well that etc...eh?

cheers
