HD Partition Problem ie Not a Dos Disk ?
« on: June 20, 2003, 04:23:53 AM »
OK I finally got cross doss to work and managed to downlaod and run lha to extraxt the HDinstTools program. I had 3 Partitions and wanted 2 so i deleted 1 (Not the bootable) and resized the other two. I was left with  a 44Mb HD0: (the bootable partition) and a 200 Mb HD1: Partition. I was informed to reboot for changes to take effect and that all data would be lost. Now i cant access the HD :-( What have i done ? This is turning into a saga of ineptitude  :-(  HELLP

Vincent you are a total star bro. I didn't realise i had to format after resizing the partition. Doh ! Thanks to everybody for all there Help. Its MUCH appreciated. Im now a shiney happy person again  :-) Ive got my two partitions and they are clean of the crap that was on them from before. Next i need to install WB3.0. So i guess i will go and try that now. Does anybody have an installer disk out there for 3.0 that i could get a copy of for the future? When i first got a Amiga it was an A600 with the new WB disks but didnt have a HD so it didnt come with the installer. Just the standard 5 disks. Im getting right into my amiga and i can now pick up stuff for it a lot cheeper for it than 10 years ago so im going to be expanding. What would be a good accelerator for a standard A1200 ? Anyway im of to copy WB into HD0 now so Thankyou all.  :-)
