Installing 3.9Workbench

[MickTheLip]

Hi I've got a problem when installing 3.9 over 3.1!!!I make the boot disk but it hangs with the error can't find my CD Rom and then another error says insert the 3.9 CD in any drive.I'm using the power flyer interface which works fine for 3.1 but for some reason the boot disk is unable to access this to enable the CD Rom.Any ideas or pointers as to the way to go much appreciated

Thanks for that information.I'm checking out one possible solution as a direct result.

Thanks for that information.I'll move my drives around to see if that helps!Not sure what you mean by don't use the drivers though!Do you mean the Power Flyer drivers or what?

Well I tried most things suggested but crashed the HDD and the whole thing went into meltdown.I've broken HDD completely by the looks of it!!!I've reinstalled different HDDs as I wanted slightly bigger ones.So I'm back to the begining.Obviously 3.9 Workbench is not a click and install job but as a complete learner I'd really appreciate very detailed help!!!!ie.A-Z of how to get 3.9 installed or would I be better just leaving my workbench at 3.5 which I now have installed but just have to find any updates for.

Once again someone points out the Power Flyer as the problem is this unsurmountable and if so what interface works straight out of the box so to speke?

So get rid of the power flyer and replace with 2.5 to 3.5 adapter! This is going to be fun as I'll have to strip out the Zorro IV board etc. to get at it.My Amiga is working OK as I've got 3 HDDs and a CD Rom running off the power flyer even with just the basic 3.1 and then basic 3.5 Workbench running on it.I'm virtually a newbie with the Amiga so I'm really looking for someone to talk me through the procedure step by step.Hopefully without having to strip my system apart as I'd prefer to keep the system set up as is except for the inclusion of a CD Writer in place of one of my HDDs.Basically if it ain't point and click then I'm stuck I'm that ignorant of the Amiga.

I've tried installing 3.9 over 3.1 and 3.5 but had no luck at all.Unfortunately I have varying degrees of failure.3.5 seems to be stable even after installing Boing Bags but the minute I try and install 3.9 it boots to grey screen and that's it!Moving the CD drive to primary slave has made no difference when I've got it to boot into 3.9 it still can't find it.When I try opening draws it either fails miserably or says it can't access library XYZ or what ever.Now also git another problem.While moving the drives around the wires to the phono plugs on the back of the power tower came adrift!!!Anybody able to tell me where they fit back onto on the motherboard or possibly an added board as I havnot got a clue as to where they connected to except that they were not connected to the CD drive.

Thanks to all those who offered suggestions on how to install Workbench 3.9.It turned out that it was the CDRom itself was to blame for all problems.I took advantage of this and replaced with a CD Writer which so far has behaved impeccably.Now just need the info to replace those sounleads back onto the power tower motherboard/addon board
