Getting games onto HDD
« on: September 13, 2006, 07:04:52 PM »
Ok i'll admit it I'm a biff lol. I've recently bought an A1200 to which I've fitted a HDD and managed to aquire a PMCIA CD Drive for. Now as i didn't have a HDD in my amiga many eons ago, I'm unsure as to how to transfer games onto and boot from said HDD. Also after fitting my HDD i'm unable to play games via the floppy drives. All it does is display a disk icon on the workbench desktop and wont entertain doing anything. Thanks in advance for the help which I'm sure will be incoming . And yes I know I'm a biff lol  :-?  :-?  :-?

Thanks for the speedy replies. to clarify the HDD came preinstalled with workbench 3.1 although the A1200 still only has 3.0 roms. (3.1 ROMS ordered) I have tried inserting the floppy disks in and rebooting, however the A1200 just goes straight to workbench. also would i be correct in assuming that the addition of the 3.1 ROMS will enable the CD-rom to become visible? Is there any other way? Again thanks for the replies

With regards to the floppy i just get a standard disk icon with NDOS written below it. When I attempt to double click it it comes up with the caption this Icon has no default tool. Any ideas?

Its an Amiga bootable game. Original copy of sensible soccer unfortunately it still reverts to the workbench screen even when the machine is rebooted with the disk in the drive. I'm perplexed as to why
