Partitioning 140Mb HD and Installing WB 3.0

[Cyberus]

Well, firstly, do you have any partitioning software - such as HDToolbox? Do you have an 'install' disk. Do you have GVP Faaaaaaaastprep or anything like that?

If not, you could try Aminet
perhaps try downloading rdp391.lha http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/~aminet/aminet.cgi?string=partition

OK, well. You could download that file that I mentioned by following the link I posted.

You will need to  format a disk as a PC disk using your Amiga, then put that into your PC, then copy the file to the disk, then remove the disk from the PC and put it into the Amiga (after booting using WBench), then run the prog to partition the drive

--edit--
forgot to mention, you'll have to have a way of decompressing lha files. lha compression is not so common, but you can decompress it using winrar. There's a page (sorry don't have a link) with the relevant bits you need, maintained by the Japanese guy who wrote lha. Do a search on google for 'lha compression' or something.

Sorry I can't be more helpful  :-(

Right, what I've done is downloaded the lha file for you, decompressed it and then recompressed it as a zip. I'll email it to you, which takes that problem out of the equation, all you have to do now is format a floppy as a PC disk using the Amiga.

Don't hesitate to ask if you are having probs

Now, I just tried firing up the A1200 I have set up and found that something's amiss

So, from memory...

Go to System folder, and look for an icon that says Format. This should allow allow you to format the disk in the internal drive as a PC disk.

You might need to 'mount' the drive as a PC drive, by going to Shell (like DOS) and typing
mount pc0:

Sorry, purely working from memory, I'm sure someone else here will be able to chip in.....
