#1.3to2.0
4 messages in this thread
Well I'm back. I got ahold of a workbench 2.1 install disc tried to install my
workbench and still have the old file system on the hard drive! Remember me I'm
the one who had a HD originally installed with 1.3 and updated the rom to 2.0
and copied 2.04 workbench to it and I keep getting 'can't open message body
files' requester when I try to save a reply. I also get 'can't open history
file' requesters when I veiw messages. Every thing else seems to work ok,
downloads, catalouges, etc. Oh yeah when I go to pending and veiw a message
I've replied to I get a requester that says 'something went wrong reply exsists
but I cannot open it'.How do I install the new file system? No other programs
I'm running seem to be affected by it, even other 2.0 specific ones. Why only
AutoPilot AND IF I boot from disc Shouldn't the system be operating from the
New filesystem?
Thanks for your help, We'll figure this out yet! RAL
One more Note: During the workbench installation I had one error that is
'Can't find COPYFILES dir or source missing' If That's all I need mabey I can
get a copy of it./ex
PLEASE break your messages up into paragraph type chunks… they are very hard
to read as one continous block.
To update the filesystem on the disk, run HDToolBox. Select the drive from the
scrolling list (if necessary — it will probably already be selected). Select
"partition drive". Select "advanced options". Under "filesystem"; select
"add/update". You must have a copy of the correct filesystem in the "l:"
logical directory. Select "update filesystem" and "OK". I believe that you can
'cancel' out at this point (I think that the filesystem gets written out
immediately). However, if not, then BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the partition
information is correct and then select 'save changes' at the top level screen.
Several versions of HDToolBox used to have this very nasty characteristic of
wanting to 'restore' your drive to the 'default' partitioning even when you did
not request that operation (but the fact that it was going to happen showed up
in the 'partition drive' window.

I also needed to use another driver for my controller and after changing a
tooltype in the HDtool icon info. (SCSI.device=rtScsiDisk.device) I was able to
install the new file system!
Thanks for the info.
Ok, I thought that I had mentioned that if you were not using C= scsi card that
you would have to change the tooltype in HDToolBox. I know that I have
mentioned that several times in just the last couple of week here but maybe not
to you. Glad to here all is well.
