#Kickin' the new HD
4 messages in this thread
I just added another IDE HD to my 4000/040. Had to rreplace the original. Now
when I cold boot it wants Kickstart????
If I warm boot then, it comes up… no probs.
Anyone know what's up?
TIA

It is likely that your new boot drive takes a little longer to come up to speed
than the system likes so it is not ready when the system looks for it. Some
systems provide ways of making the system wait a little longer for the drive to
come up to speed, but with the 4000 you only have the option of always doing a
warm boot after powering up or using a hard drive which comes up to speed
faster.

James,
Had the same problem. All the replies I got told me the three finger salute
was the only answer. Seems some HD's don't spin up fast enough for the OS to
recognise them. Maybe we should put it on ATG's "to do" list.

Zeddock,
what OS are you running on your A4000?
The timeout period has been slightly increased in OS 3.1. So, if you are still
runniung OS 3.0, it _may_ help to upgrade to OS 3.1.
