English Amiga Board - View Single Post - HDD no booting on real Amiga 1200 but working on WinUAE w/PISTORM

Hi friends,

I need some help from specialists...
To summarize, I prépared my Amiga HDD (20Go) with WinUAE following the tutorial from https://scunster.co.uk/?p=1257 and installed Classic Workbench Full for my 1200.
5 Partitions from DH0 to DH5 (PFS3 format, 3.9 Go each execpt DH0 (500Mo).
Everything works well when the HDD is mount in WinUAE. Games and demos are launching, every soft works.

But On my Amiga 1200, It doesn't boot straight. If I boot from Workbench 3.1 Install disk, I see the System disk (DH0) and DH1, the other disks being NDOS disks.
If I replug to my PC under WinUAE, no probs.
I worked a week on it, without success.

If I unplug my Pistorm 32Lite, it boots well and the 5 DH are working, but I miss some softs on these disks and have no menu (The worbench menu with Icons, and son on).
It says no WHDLoad installed, etc...So it starts but with nothing working.

To be honest, I don't undertand anymore...

What advice could you provide ? Is there any conflict with the PFS driver or scsi.device file ?

Thanks for helping.
Phil

Config : A1200 + Pistorm32Lite + HDD 20Mo (original one)
