#Wings HDinstall Prob.
7 messages in this thread
Anybody else have trouble with the HDinstall routine for Wings?? When I run
it, I get a screen with the following messages: RAM:T already exsists Reel
2:c/makedir failed returncode 20 It stays that way for about 15 seconds,
then goes back to the workbench screen. I'm running an A2000HD w/1meg chip
RAM,A2090A controller w/ the stock Rodine 40meg HD, and WorkBench 1.3.2.
There's nothing like VirusX or anything running. I'd REALLY like to get
this installed on the HD, as it takes forever and a week to load from
floppies.
The problem is that the Wings HDinstall script tries to create a "T"
directory in RAM: when your regular startup sequence has already created
this directory. The simplest solution is to delete the "T" directory in
RAM: and then run the Wings HDinstall script.

Thanks for the reply,Paul. If I had my brain turned on once in awhile, it
would be a lot easier…grin.

No problem. It really is a sloppy error on their part. An IF EXISTS test it
their script would have avoided to problem in the first place.

Glenn –
I got that same message when I tried to install. What I did was go into
the install_hd script, delete the line that creates ram:t (and possibly
another line or two, if they looked like they would've already been done in
Startup-Sequence), save and execute. Worked just fine after that.

Thanks, Harry, I'll give it a try.

Delete the first two lines of the HDinstall script, which create and
assign dir T: to RAM:, since it's already created from your bootup sequence
from your hard drive.
This should work, it's the procedure I used.
