This is stupid...workbench command urgently needed....

[Bildheinze]

this is really stupid...was just playing around after succesfully installing my idefix express....

went to the presets...for the piktogramms for the drives....and made them all invisible....don't ask me why i don't know...

so now i'm left with only the workench thing on top and can'get into any of the drives or programms....

which command can i use in the workbench command box...to get into any of the drives?

this is really dumb :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

[Bildheinze]

tried it but


with info it lists my drives....the one i wanna get into is system:presets..there i wanna change the piktograms again to make my drives visible............but when i type in system:it doesn't go anywhere i still get a blank desktop.... :-?

[Bildheinze]

yeah that is my boot drive...System it's called ....do i type it in with a new command window opened?

[Bildheinze]

yes i got the window open...this is the only thing i can open at the moment....then when i type info...it shows all the drives available....when i type in system: nothing happens...then i opened a new command window and typed system:    then the command window dissapears ..but nothing on the scrren except the "toolbar" on top   ..i'm lost.this is weird

[Bildheinze]

ok.... sys: does the same as when i type  system:(Which is the boot drive"...i think i need to get straight to the presets on the boot drive ...to change the piktograms to be seen again..

.

[Bildheinze]

Ok  ..so a different window...will try where i can get...typed it in as it should be but nothing really opens up----guess in this shell thing its all text based or do folders really gonna open up???

Can't boot from a disk drive cause got a 3.5 cd which was installed on the A1200 when i got it...and only installed the idefix to get a cd rom working.can i connect the cd rom directly to the ide port to boot up?then i could set jumpers to the sys boot drive to slave and fix it?

[Bildheinze]

i think all i can do is install a new system which is pretty hard cause the cdrom is not working and i only got the os 3.5 cd....mmmhh have to think what to do now..i can't get along in this shell window....btw the last post i typed into my 1200 instead of my notebook....confused :crazy:

[Bildheinze]

i'm in there system:prefs/env-archive.....what can i type in now to maybe reset the preferences?and i'still on that bootig from that sys drive

[Bildheinze]

but i only see------system:prefs/env.archive>    after that nothing shoes up...

and i doesn' ask for a specific disk no more

[Bildheinze]

sorry forgot dir ....now everything shows up....how can i delet reset it???i set the pictograms for the hard drives to something like invisible..thats when it all started...

[Bildheinze]

Thanks davideo..how can i change them to old prefs ??

[Bildheinze]

i mean what command do i have to type in to change prefs to old prefs???

[Bildheinze]

[Bildheinze]

[Bildheinze]

yes just did it now.....now i can go on and get that cd rom working with that ide express adapter working......wow that was a whole day in front of that amiga..but only have it since a week...so i guess lots of more work to do tilll i got it working like i want it......but i promise will be more carefully with ticking boxes in the futere!!!!
