English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Trouble Setting up Transcend 4GB IDE Flash Disk

If you insert the Install disk and run HDToolbox, are all partitions gone or is anything left? Do you have to "change drive type" or can you start creating partitions without that?

What's your hardware configuration? This DOM has a female connector which shall plug directly to the motherboard. But "asim_atapi.device" (which AFAIK is an ATAPI driver for the motherboard's IDE controller) finds your CD drive, so the drive is connected to the motherboard. Where is the DOM connected to then?

Can you copy files to the DOM partition without installing AsimCDFS? Does it fail then, too? How many files (or megabytes) can you copy to the partition?

Does it fail also if you make the partition smaller, for example 100 MB?

Can you make a boot floppy with AsimCDFS installed so that the CD driver is active before you install the DOM? Does it fail earlier then, for example already during installation of WB?

Which version of WB are we talking about? Your signature says OS 3.9. Why do you install AsimCDFS when you have CacheCDFS out of the box?

If it's not OS 3.9, what if you try OS 3.9? Does it boot from your emergency disk? And does HDToolbox see the DOM when OS 3.9 has booted from CD? Can you install OS 3.9 to the DOM?
