As I edited in above. Try to see if you've booted off the wrong disk. If I remember workbench 3 has lots of disks and not just 1 like WB1.3 or WB2.04. Try booting off a different one, or typing "c:rx ram:setup"

You don't necessarily need Workbench3.1 but you need Kickstart 3.1 ROMs unless you use IDEFIX.  The boot partition is alway set to below 2GB and then you can specify the other paritions as you wish.

so far no bloody good nothing is working this is getting on ma nervers, anyway thanks V-much 4 your help so far. im off to work soon so if i dont answer u no y.

If you _ARE_ going to buy the entire kit (ROM's, hard drive, cables etc.) it might be worth considering AmigaKit. It's not a really bad price (perhaps 30% more than normal PC oem retailers) but the level of service, and the Amiga help is beyond what you would get elsewhere (that's what you are paying for).

When you get back, tell me what workbench disks you have (exactly what is written on them and perhaps we'll get closer to running Amiga-Explorer).

If you DO buy a hard drive from AmigaKit, see if they can supply you with a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter so you can plug your drive into an ordinary PC. That is the fastest / best way to install Workbench and transfer data (especially 17Gig!) to the Amiga drive is to mount the drive in UAE.

Or use ADFView http://www.viksoe.dk/code/adfview.htm or even better.

@alexh

Thanks for your kind comments regarding our service.

I don't think we are 30% more than PC retailers with 2.5" 40GB hard disks.  I have had a quick scout around most main PC retailers and our price is consistent and cheaper than quite a few.

[alexh]

Microdirect 40Gb 2.5" IDE = £45.59

Scan 40Gb 2.5" IDE = £43.89

Dabs.com 40Gb 2.5" IDE = £45.12

Ebuyer 40Gb 2.5" IDE = £44.75

AmigaKit 40Gb 2.5" IDE = £57.99

£57.99 - £43.89 = £14.10 / £43.89 * 100 = 32.13%

But I congratulate you on an amazing webshop. If there is anything AMIGA specific anyone needs I would recommend you without a doubt.
