- If you boot with a Superkickstart-Disk, do you get your usual Screen asking
- for a Workbench? If that's so then go into the early-startup-screen (you know:
- reset your machine and press both mousebuttons) and watch your bootable
- devices. Is your harddisk/partition present but it says "not bootable"? If
- that is so I had the same problem some days ago when I installed a new
- harddisk in my A3000 (the old one left from one day to another, snif).
-
- I tried nearly everything including a low-level-format and nothing helped
- until I tried to boot with Kick 1.3, booted with a Workbench 1.3 and formated
- my bootpartition. This solution worked for *me*. Of course I had to reinstall
- the Workbench and the kickstartfile but after I finished with this all worked
- as it should.
-
- Hope this one helps.
