Another simple question - I canne see the wood from the trees!

[Cyberus]

I've never had this problem before with my A1200s, its always been easy, but I've fitted a new HD to my toy A600... and I can see the drive, partition it, format the partitions, make one of them bootable and copy files to it, but when I try to boot the machine....nothing!

I can use FFS with KS 2 can't I?

I'm probably being really stupid, but I'd rather someone enlighten me so I can have a 'doh!' moment, rather than carry on tearing my hair out...

Thanks

You may try also the "c:install dh0: FFS". On hdtoolbox, save any changes to the drive, and leave the floppy "WB Install disk" write protection-off (write enabled) when saving the changes.

P.S. What size is the HD?

I've done what you mention (I'm booting with a WB2.04 disk and running HDTools off the WB3.1 Install disk in df1:)

The HD is an amazing 40MB in size!  :-o

(I want to sort it out and sell it, as I need the space!)

@ Cass, Kronos and Jagabot

Thanks for your advice, I'll see what I can do today...

Maybe a silly remark of me, but doesn't OS2 have it's own HD Install disk?

That may be - but despite having originals of WB1.3, 2, 3.0 and 3.1, I can only find the install disk for 3.1  :-(
