Amiga A1200 HDINSTTOOLS 6.7. Format Failed: Object Not found
« on: December 01, 2006, 09:40:11 PM »
Hey there, Ive got an old amiga 1200.  Ive just stuck a hard drive in it and I dont have the install disk (its in the loft somewhere!!) with hdinsttools. So i bodged it together by extracting the files from an lha file on a pc to an msdos formated 720k disk and then copied the files to the amiga using pc0 emulator running in workbench. It was all going swimmingly and I managed to get the hdutils running.  I could even see the hard drive in the interface window.  When I clicked autoinstall the amiga hard drive light flashed and I heard it whizz, but then I got an error on screen 'FORMAT FAILED: OBJECT NOT FOUND'. Im concerned that Im missing a file or something but Im a bit stumped, short of making a null modem cable with Amiga Explorer. Any pointers in the right direction would be a starter for 10!  thx :-?
