idots guide to installing workbench 3.0

JACK98 · 12 January 2009, 21:04

Seeming that 100mb wasn't big enough for partition my workbench *some games/apps needed to be in that partition*.i decided to reformat my hardrive.However i seem to be making a mess of it.when i go into hd setup,and select a partition,it springs to "hd1".i config the space for that and rename it "work",then make a new partition and put that as "system" and make that bootable.install workbench,the thing doesn't work.so i would had to reformat the whole drive again,im surprised that the drive hasn't broke yet from all this.anyways,is there an step by step guide on web to installing wb?

How big is your hard drive? I have ~800MB all in one partition, DH0.

Finally got the hang of it.I went into hdtool box,deleted partitions.Reset and renamed them.And it installed perfectly,so i have 2 partitions.My hd is 3.25gb
