workbench startup problem

[smoorke]

copying only the s/startup-sequence file from an original workbench disk to your s/ directory on the hard drive will most likely enable you to boot up from your harddrive

type this in the dos-shell

copy df0:s/startup-sequence to dh0:s/

note: if this fails and you were bright enough to substitute the standard device names in that command
with the ones you use on your system
i fear that game might have corrupted your harddrive
you didn't by any chance install 'syndicate' did you?

no. deleting your old wbstartup/ folder will kill some tools you had installed.

just open the CLI
located in sys:system/ directory

and type the line i mentioned above

the reason you seem to have trouble locating the startup-sequence on you workbench floppydisk is something called icons
by default drawers are set to only display files wich have a matching '.info' file
you can toggle this feature by selecting show all files somewhere in the right click menu of those drawers. don't know off-hand the exact location tho.
