Tutorial: How to Install A Compact Flash Drive Into the A1200 And A600

[tom_a_spar]

I cant get any further than step number 6
my a1200 well not boot help?

[tom_a_spar]

think of Compact Flash drive as a boot drive
something that well get you into the workbench

then you use a usb based hard drive to store all your other stuff

[tom_a_spar]

I have got my a1200 booting using install 3.1
on step 10:

click on the "Read Configuration" button.

I get "Unit is not a disk (type 7)"
the size is wrong 211Mb (got 256Mb card)

To commit your changes to the hard drive, click on "Save Changes to Drive"

I get "Error 3 on write"

what am I doing wrong?

Gpatch is the program you need
tryed with uae patching worked but failed with media
about to try with real computer

[tom_a_spar]

if you main goal is boot speed and hot swapable (not when powered on) OSes
witch is what I am looking at
not playing games but using the apps
