Hard disk don't mount automaticly os3.9

[Vincent]

I had this problem aswell, but I had a 20GB hd as bootable with OS3.9 and the 2nd one was only 2.4GB used for backups.

No matter what I did I couldn't get the 2nd hd (on the same chain as the other hd) to auto mount.  It didn't bother me that much because it was a back up, but I know it must be annoying you.

Re-installing and formatting won't make a difference.  I do vaguely remember a "mount on boot" option somewhere but I couldn't honestly sya where it was, or even if it was for an hd.

Leave the hd as it is, I'm almost positive you won't need to reinstall/format it.

sfs is freely avaliable on Aminet:

US Aminet (sometimes down)

UK Aminet (more reliable)

Only install SFS if you know what you're doing, or have a good few practices on empty partitions.  You'll lose all your data converting from ffs to sfs so back up all the important stuff.

I know you can do:

mount devs:storage/dosdrivers/cd3

To mount your cd drive from cli.


mount <device name here>

might work for your hard drive (using HD1 or whatever you called it in the toolbox).  Try it from workbench's cli before putting it in the startup-sequence.
