Amiga 2000 Harddrive problem

[Darrin]

I 'm in Ballston Spa NY .. Little town just outside of Saratoga Springs .
I would gladly pay anyone for a loan or sell me the disks i need .
I believe i have kickstart ver 34.5

Thanks

That's Kickstart 1.3 then.

I'm afraid I'm on a business trip until the 16th.  If you don't have any luck finding help before then just PM me and I'll see if I can make a copy of my really old WB1.3 disks and send them to you in the mail.  It's been years since I ran WB1.3 on an A2000's hard drive.  I think it was just a case of prep and format the hard drive, copy the contents of the WB disks over and use the supplied hard drive startup-sequence instead of the one meant for the floppy.

If you have a chance, seriously consider getting some 3.1 ROMS.

There are a few members here from around your way, hopefully one of them can help out...

Reckon my wee campaign to get the WB disks made easily available is proven right with this thread...

I was thinking the same thing.

OK, so you need WB1.3 Disks. I can send out a set in a couple of days. You can PM you name and address to me.  
 
Rog.....

Nice one mate.

A bit off topic but... I've achieved time travel just like wot you can do in your TARDIS...

LOL.  Now I feel like making a video of my kid's remote controlled daleks and K9.

Hi,

@everybody,

I really can't see how kickstart 1.3 or workbench 1.3 is going to help him, none of them have HD install programs. If I remember right when I had my A2000 I had to use Ver 2.04 to do the HD thing. Correct me if I am wrong.

I had WB1.3 booting quite nicely on my A2000 using a CBM SCSI card.  I wouldn't be surprised to find that when he boots from the floppy disk then his NDOS hard drive icon will appear and he can click on it, format it and then copy his workbench files over.

I guess a bootable disk with DOPUS4 on it might come in handy too. although "copy df0: dh0: all" should be fine from CLI and then delete the floppy startup-sequence and rename the hard drive one.
