Installing games on my 1200 HD

[bazza1975]

What would happen if there was a conflict?

Can i change it to 4mb, in the OS itself?

Can i install whdload + games on the cf-card thus avoiding using the HD altogether...?

I am Finally playing stealth fighter on whdload, it only way i can run it is by installing whdload on the ramdisk everytime, and then copy stealth to the ramdisk also (seein i still get errors when trying to install it on the HD)but..... i can't save the game, i have entered a formated floppy into the drive, but seeing its a whdload game it doesnt  save the game. This is vital to this game otherwise its pretty useless.. anyone???

Nope still doesnt work on the HD, i have the workbench, where c: can be found, this volume is full, so i try to install on HD1: here there is space left, it installs all the files there, but then when i copy games into the whdload directory, they wont startup, then it say "cant find WHDload tool".

I have also unpacked "installer ver 43.3" into c: and hd1:
Still noluck :-o  :-o  :-o  :-o

Ive just make a mistake, ive changed my c: drive size, and now the whole lot is gone... how do i install wb3.0 to the hd? ive got the 4 disks...help!!

[bazza1975]

Thanks, it works, the whole problem was that the partition was only 8mb!!

Im mising some cool stuff i used to have though like Opus :-(  :-(  :-(  :-(

I thought i had all 4 disks installed to the HD, thing is when i reboot now i get the 3.0 rom screen, it doesn't load up the workbench,,

Anyone???

[bazza1975]

I do get the purple rom screen, but i want the workbench to load,,

[bazza1975]

I did get a purple rom screen,now all i get is the amiga dos shell. Even if i enter the wb disk or install disk.

Yes i have checked that the HD is bootable, using the HDtoolbox, i have installed the hd with the 5 disks, never came back with any errors..

fast file system is selected, and boot sequence is 0 for HD, this right?

[bazza1975]

See thats the thing even if i boot with the install disk it ends up in a dos shell screen.. and stops booting, the smae with booting with wb, same result.

Only way i can get anywhere is to boot from software disk i got from pcmcia kit seeing this is bootable.

Then i end up in wb screen, open install disk, then select hdtoolbox, and made 1 partition,, fast file is already selected, good bad?, boost sequence 0 good bad? And yes bootable is selected...

Reboot, and end up in the same ds shell screen, Even is i enter install disk. Thats the problem

[bazza1975]

Yes thats the screen i was getting...



yes df0:5 cc0:3, dunno what that is and hd0:0, so i disabled hd0: to enter workbench, thing is in the hdtoolbox, it wont save the changes when i change it to say, 6 seeing the floppy has a value of 5.., it stays boot priority 0.....whenever i close the program, and how do i give the floppy a lower value...

Hi folks,
Thanks for all the very useful help, tried it all, even copying the workbench disk.. It does boot from the floppy drive, but the floppies are both suddenly not bootable anymore... very strange. I can boot with adftransfer software pcmcia floppy, that way i can get into the workbench, then using the install floppy into hdtoolbox.

I have done it step for step, bootable, etc, but it has no effect.... :-?  :-?  :-?

cheers Baz

Hi chaps,
Copied the wb floppy and it worked, copied all contents to HD, rebooted and bingo its now booting from HD.
Finally :-)
