creating a 2.0 kickstart disk
« on: August 03, 2011, 05:42:25 PM »
Hi everyone, I am a longtime Amiga user. I have a couple of Amiga's that I have gotten out of storage and are just trying to use again.
 
I am trying to boot up my Amiga 2000, and it is asking me to insert a kickstart 2.0 (37.175) disk.
 
I know that all of the Kickstart roms are available on the internet, and I have the kickstart 2.0 roms in an .adf  format but on my Windows machine.
 
My problem is that I can't figure out how to make an Amiga format disk and transfer the adf files onto a 3 1/2 so that it would work on my Amiga.
 
Another huge problem is that since my Amiga's were pretty much pre- internet day models. I have no way to connect them to the internet to be able to download the ROMS directly.
 
I do have WINUAE installed on my windows machine, is there some way that I can write the kickstart rom disk to my 3 1/2 on my windows machine so it would work on my Amiga?
 
Surely many people have encounteed this problem before of how to get this wealth of .adf files available on the internet onto a machine that has no internet access.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Amiga 2000 doesn't recognize Harddrives

Apparently it was asking me for a workbench disk. Strange, I have two hard drives in this A2000, I thought it was supposed to load the workbench off of my hard drive.

I load workbench and it comes up to the normal Amiga desktop. It shows my floppy workbench disk and a RAM disk, but no hard drives.  Any idea what could be wrong?

I have tried re seating my connections to no avail...

Thanks everyone...
