My hard disk is still alive!! but ...

[sim085]

Does fat95 come with Workbench 3.1? Or I have to download it from somewhere in order to have it available for Workbench 2.4? (like I did for disksav2).

Also is it possible to move some files from the Amiga to the PC using this method? At the moment I am at work so cannot really see of fat95 is already in my Workbench L directory!

Oki, I will try this when I get back home Thanks

Hi, I am back home and (obviously) I tried to copy FAT95.lha to my A500+. Now I have two problems (questions).

The first one is where do I find MH0.lha? I tried searching on google and did not find it. Or this one is already in FAT95.lha?

Also, I am ashamed of asking this; but what do I do when I move the lha file on the Amiga. Last time (in some way) DevSave2 came listed under a list of programs and I used it like that. I doubled clicked on the FAT95.lha and a document opens to tell me about the compression or something. But how do I extract its content!! Last time I must have done something by mistake. I was under the impression that I only had to move the .lha file on the amiga to have the program!

Hi A4000_Mad,

Sorry for the late reply. I have been trying working on this but cannot get it right. When I insert the disk in the amiga drive I get the following error immediately;

Error Validating
File allocation table
in device PC0
Results uncertain
Proceed at your own risk

I press the ok button and then open directoryopus. In directory opus I access PC0 without any problems. I then try to move the file FAT95.lha on Workbench. Each time I get the following error;

MSDOS 5.0
has a read error
on disk block 270
Error = 23
Block not found

After pressing cancel for sometime the file actually get transferred with the same size. I thought this was fine. However when I try to extract the data using the lha tool I have in Workbench/C I get an error that it could not extract the contents of FAT95.lha

Something stranger is that when I tried to move disksave2 I had everything in scrambled text and now everything is in clear text? Even the disk displayed on Workbench (the icon) is clearly labelled as MSDOS5.0!

Hi,

I tried to format the disk from the amiga as you suggested but immediately I get the error 'couldn't format cylinder 0'.

I tried to format another floppy disk from windows using the method you previously suggested. Everything works fine on windows (so the floppy seems to be ok). But as soon as I try insert the floppy in the amiga I start getting the errors mentioned above.

Also I still can't understand how come I no longer get scrambled text when I insert the floppy in the Amiga drive! If it is seeing the disk as MSD5.0 then it seems that FAT95 has already been installed right!? or?

I do not know; but the disk started to be displayed in clear text after I moved the original FAT95.lha on Workbench and these errors started to appear after that. Could it be that I have some auto install if that even exsisted back then!

Thanks for your detailed reply. I am sorry I took long to put a reply ... I did not realise you had replied!! ... I will try it again (already noticed a minor difference from what I was doing) and let you know Thanks again.

A: /t:90 /n:9

The /t:90 should be /t:80 or? In a previous post I think it was /t:80. I thought maybe that was the mistake, but when I try using /t:90 on Windows I get an error; something wrong parameters.
