That's just not right. The Amiga was built to be tinkered with, expanded, opened, upgraded, etc. It should be designed from the ground up with this in mind and should be ready to take a beating. I used to build up PC's for people all the time and that was the game I played with them, so why should the Amiga do anything less?
Anyhow, I ended up putting PFS on all partition via WinUAE (I feel so dirty) and now the f*cking thing boots up PERFECTLY each and every time using the 8Gb CF with IDE adapter.
I am going to tinker with the 20Gb 2.5 IDE drive tonight, then back to getting my Apollo SCSI controller working.
So far, so good!
One problem though...
It boots in 4 seconds flat, but the first time I opened my System partition, it drew all the icons instantly, but 1. That one took about 2 seconds then finally appeared. I then clicked on it "PREFS" and all those Icons opened but one, and during the few seconds it took to draw that last Icon, I could not do anything in that directory.
After that it was fine. Also after I rebooted this still happened, but did not take nearly as long to draw that last icon. Not a HUGE problem because it is still faster in the long run, and again it is at least working, but...
...what gives?
I would just say that your files are just arranged in a different order than before due to different filesystem. The one icon may seem to linger, but its really icons loading that are non visible.
I am pretty happy with my FastATA. You should probably get one if your icons linger too much...
