PFS3 error: INVALID PFS3 COPY !!! WTF?

keropi · 18 March 2008, 13:17

Hiya!

I have tried several times with winUAE to install PFS3 , using the original CD. Installation goes swell, I reboot, I even apply the latest 5153 patch, which installs OK, and reboot AGAIN.
I add it to HDTOOLBOX, correct type/mask/transfer like on the guide , I get the PFS\00 filesystem, I make the partitions OK , reboot and then comes the quickformat time... (using 3.9 BB2) I select the drive, press quickformat, I get the little screen with my license info , and after a while another screen that tells me that:
THIS COPY OF PFS3 IS INVALID, PLEASE CONTACT CREED blah blah...
the HD works OK with SFS and OS3.9 FFS, plus it has NO bad sectors...
why is this happening? any ideas?

thanks!

maybe you are using a pirated pfs3 version?

Your explanations are always very "interesting".. You do know there is more than single configuration..

Then just use this copy. I don't remember if I ever installed PFS3 on WinUAE. I always use the copy that is already here.

I thought about that thomas, but sadly on my A4000 I use the 060 version... my 1200 has a 1230MK4

so I doubt it will work OK, and in any case I don't want to take such risks with a sensitive part like the filesystem
