MAJOR 3.9 Installation trouble

[tony23]

Hi Oldsmobile_Mike,
If DiskSalv isn't helping then...
I think your gonna have to start over and I'de start by replacing that flakey keyboard first, then remove all the "junk" that you don't need.Then I would install Amiga OS 3.1 to a freshly prep'd HD, then once I had that all working without any added "junk"(software or hardware that is not necessary). Then once I knew that all is good, then I'd install 3.9 . Otherwise I think you'll continue to have problems. I'm sure someone here will be able to shed more light on what caused your problems. I just think your best off to cleanup your computer and start fresh, this way when something doesn't work it maybe the last thing added. Just my thoughts on it, I ain't no expert. Good luck with it, I'm sure your really gonna love 3.9 when you get it going. :-)

Hi Oldsmobile_Mike, I'm glad to hear DiskSalv worked it out for you. :-) The BoingBags 1&2 were on the AmigaActive CD's and I think you can also download them from the Haage&partner and Amiga inc. websites. As for other ad on progs. I like ToolsDaemon with the patch 2.1b and I also like MagicMenu. I'm sure someone else running 3.9 on a A1200 will be able to give you some more pointers as my A3000 /OS3.9  is a slightly different beast.
And again, I'm glad you got it going. :-)
Have Fun  :-)
