I have an external floppy drive for my A1200 which i'm trying to get to boot and old public domain demo called 'Jesus On E's' i have which needs an external drive to work. The demo boots from the first disk ok, but then it tries to access the second disk in DF1:, but it doesn't actually load anything from this disk though the drive light comes on. It then tries to find the second disk in DF0: then DF1: again and again, but not actually finding it.
If i boot my A1200 into workbench from my harddrive and put a disk in DF1: it shows up and you can open the disk from workbench ok.
The problem i think is in the boot options (press both mouse buttons while booting) where i get the following show up next to DF1:
Enabled - DF1 Priority-10 ADOS trackdisk-1
Is it the 'Priority-10' that's causing the problem as all the other devices in the boot options have a priority with a number without the '-' symbol next to them. If this is true how do i get DF1: to show up like the other devices???
The other problem i've encountered is i put a 60gig (IDE) harddrive in my amiga, partitioned it and installed workbench onto it but the 'Work' partition only shows just under 4gig wheras it should be just under 60gig, and the harddrive light is permanently on as well, is this right??? Yet if i put my original 3gig (IDE) hard drive back in my machine the 'Work' partition show just under 3gig, which is ok.
Is there a maximum size harddrive the A1200 can recognize when using workbench 3.1 as i am???
Any help would be welcome.
Thanx
Steve
