Not sure how this happened...
« on: October 06, 2008, 03:25:29 AM »
...but I somehow managed to delete the startup-sequence from my OS4.0 partition on my 4000T. And of course I don't have the install CD with me. Could someone PM/post their startup-sequence for me? (No one's going to freak about about copyright nonsense, I hope?)

Thanks.

We're only allowed to post default operating system scripts published by Microsoft, and even then, only with prejudice. Everything else is verboten. ;-)

@ Matt


I have to object, 'cos it's not actually the startup-sequence installed with your OS4 CD. Technically, you're using the files from another CD, which means you're violating your user license.

*runs and hides*

How'ed ya manage that? Reminds me of the time, long ago, when my son was messing around with my A2000. He "accidently" deleted the entire S directory...

I'd help you out, but I don't have OS4.0

Check your desk, the CD might be used as a coffee coaster.  :-D

Sigh. So that's a "no", then?

@ T3000

I know exactly where the CD is: Not with me. :-)

What filesystem is your system partition? If it's SFS, start without startup sequence and then type:
cd .recycled
dir

You should find your startup sequence there and a simple copy back to S: will restore it.

I have just done this in a UAE installation of OS3.9 which I use for preparing stuff to copy to my A1200. I think I rebooted too soon after saving the file (I had just been editing it) and it disappeared. I don't know whether the same thing can happen using an OS4 filesystem.

I don't have an OS4 machine but I do have a copy of OS4 classic. Would that have a working startup-sequence on it which I could email to you?

@ thread

Situation's been sorted out. Thanks, everyone!


@ Hans_

Good idea, but for some reason I decided to not use the .recycled directory when I formatted the partition. Might reconsider that now.


@ moto

I'm 99% certain that the file disappearing was due to my own stupidity rather than a bug/feature :-)
