ASIMCDFS FLOPPY Problems - newbie question

[QuikSanz]

Imho I make my Workbench3.9 partition around 400-500MB. Don't really need it much larger than that and since a lot of programs write to it, I'd rather not risk some old software flaking out because of the size.

One of my favorite directory utilities, DirWork, is one that crashes if you try to write to drives or partitions above the 4GB mark, so in this instance I only use it to move files into my main partitions (within the first 4GB of space).

Yup, 500MB is all you can possibly use. Will hold every hack, utility, or dongle you'll ever need.

Work is where all the other crap goes. The Save Your Boot Partition crusade rolls on.

If browser software or email software is installed on the boot partition, then 500MB may not be enough for some (caches etc, stored mail...)
If it's a large drive, a juicy 1GB does nicely, plus it's a nice round number which satisfies my OCD. :laugh1:

thank you everyone

That did the trick Matt...you were right, my Boot partition is 3.8Gigs which I am sure caused some problems, that issue, along with redirecting the installer icon to SYS:Utilities worked....so thank you

BTW: I am ~ 30min west of Boston....we should connect some day to chat more. I am in process of reviving my old A2000 !

Thanks for your help

Glad that worked! Always nice to see another local user, and welcome (back?) to the scene. I think there are a few others Massachusetts people here as well. A local meetup sometime would be fun!

Yes...I agree, would be nice to connect in person.
I joined in late 2015 after chatting with Mike...it's been a slow process getting back up to speed with my A2000 upgrades...making progress
