Well I don't have HDtoolbox (some kind person from england mailed me his old 2.04 roms and his workbench discs, extras and fonts, but no hd toolbox) And my Roctec formatter won't function under the new rom. is there anyway to do it from the shell? I tried a workaround to get autopilot to work by booting from floppy and still get the same trouble, AP will retrieve the stuff just fine but when i try to compose a message or a reply i get a 'can't open message body' requester. But if i boot from floopy aren't i getting the new file system from the floppy disc? and if that's so then autopilots troubles lie elswhere. I've gotten other 2.04 only software to work on this system. just these partial operating troubles with AP, and they suggested the rigid disc trouble as i did have the 1.3 on here when i originally formatted this harddrive. thanks for your quick reply on my last question.m

Ral <sp?>, obviously you UK friend has forgotten to mail you the `INSTALL' disk of the WB 2.04 disk set. HDToolBox and some other goodies can only be found on this disk. – wkc – … via AP from Hamburg, Germany

Have him send you the 'install' disk. While it is theoritically possible to install AmigaDOS with something like HDPrep (or whatever the name of the freely distributable formatter is) it is not a suitable task for a first time Amiga User. -bill
