Advice on installing AmigaOS 3.1
« on: May 27, 2006, 09:25:04 PM »
Hi All,

I was wondering if I could seek some advice on installing AmigaOS 3.1. As it has been a while since I have to reinstall, I am a little rusty. I use to restore my miggy from disk images. I have all the other software (060 libraries, etc) I just some key advice on Installing the OS without any problems. I'll have to try and remember how to mount the CD drive later on. For now, the OS is main goal.

Any advice would be useful,

Cheers,

Antony Evans  :-D

The ROM installation went extremely well. The ROM's and OS disks arrived in perfect condition and in exceptional time.

Regarding the OS install, I thought this might be the case. The last OS I installed was WB.3.0 and that was on a miggy 1200HD years ago. As The original HDD is un-bootable, I theory, I should be able to mount the old HDD, copy the data off and re-format the 2nd drive as Aux storage...If I am correct?

That's useful as I was wondering how I was going to get around that little problem....I was just going to disable the Blizzard PPC from boot until the OS was installed and deal with that later. I was going to use the 060 libraries off the old HDD.  Another point..... If I cannot re-use the old 060 libraries, is there anywhere I can get them??
