Drive problems
1 messages in this thread
Murray,
Thanks for your reply. I took your advice and ran FDISK from within
PC-TASK. I could only get it to show me the disk (actually a file
emulating a disk) I already had set up as the C: drive. I could not
figure out how to "see" any other partitions. I have actually moved all
of my "Amiga" files from my original 120M Seagate drive over to my new
515M Western Digital drive and thought I would just use the Seagate drive
as an MS-DOS drive. But I can't seem to get FDISK to see it. Any
suggestions?
Also, now that I've configured the Western Digital drive to be my
"primary" Amiga drive, I seem to have uncovered another problem:
When I perform a cold boot I get a "Please insert Workbench Disk" screen.
From there I can do a warm boot (CTRL-LAMIGA-RAMIGA) and my new drive will
boot fine. I suspect that the problem is that the drive does not spin up
in sufficient time for the computer to see it during cold boot. Is there
a way to make the computer wait longer before assuming the hard drive does
not exist? Anybody ever run across this problem before? Is there a
solution? It seems silly to have to keep my smaller drive as a boot only
device!
Thanks for your help!
