- grrrrr..u are right..:>
-
- ..anyway i do have followup info.
-
- I have since discovered that when i go and define and partitiion the drive using
- workbench:tools/hdtool and save this info, after i reboot the machine, the drive
- and the partitions were not reconized/saved. Of course i had not problems
- doing this on the a3000. Apparently, some config files are NOT being saved and
- used.
-
- I did check the workbench:tools/drive definition file and it does have the
- correct date as when it was modified although i cannot directly examine the file
- since it is some sort of binary file.
-
- Am i missing something? what other files do i need to check/look out for?
-
- Suggestions?
-
- Also another question: any reason why the fastfilesystem file was missing (on
- both the workbench and the system floppy disks?
-
- Thank everyone 4 their suggestions/help.
