Amiga 1000 will not load workbench
« on: January 15, 2006, 09:58:44 PM »
Hello,

Iam new to this group and I have a problem with my Amiga 1000, it will not load the workbench disc or any workbench from any program disk. I have owned this since "1984" and have stored it since 1992, is there anyone on this group that can assist me on getting my computer to work again?

I appreciate any help that you can give me.  :)

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick responses! No, I did not forget the sartup disc. When it asks for the workbench it just won't load, so Iam at a lost on what to do next.

Hi,

No, good question! wish I had another but, I do not, I was wondering if there might be a patch disk out there for corrupted files in system, or somthing to anyalize the system for errors?

Thanks,
Paul

I live in Savage, Minnesota and I do have software games that are preloaded with workbech and it still will not load the workbech utility.

So, if there is someone local, or someone that can send me 1.3 utility disc that can help me I would appreciate it.

Question: since I can not load the workbench after the start up disc, does this mean possibly that the machine is no longer useable? and also, can I send this in to someone to get it working again?

Ok, I found a startup disk 1.3 and workbench 1.3. here was I get after workbench 1.3 loads.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' I get this continually, until I stop it by hitting the enter key, but I am in "DOS" but can't get any further than this screen.

I now get the same screen as mention above with 1.1, 1.2. and also I found out that I can not stop it by hitting the return key, it automatically stops on its own, no matter what key you use to stop it from scrolling.

Ali,

Thank you!!!
I disconected the keyboard and it boots up just fine. Now I guess I have to find a new keyboard, or perhaps I need a new spiral corde?

Thanks much to all of you!!!

Paul - one happy camper!
