trying to install resource

Grazey · 04 February 2010, 16:17

Hi

I'm trying to install the 3 disks on REsource (dis-assembler) under WinUAE.

I have dh0: and dh1: set up pointing to my PC HD's... thy work fine.

When I run the install script it asks me to point to where I want to install.. no matter where I point e.g. DH1: etc it says disk full..

is this a problem with the install script or an option I'm not setting in WinUAE?

Cheers for the advice

It's a common problem with disks larger than 2GB. Store a 2GB file on the disk, then it will work. Or use a HDF instead of a directory.

General rule:

Divide the amount of free space on the partition by 4GB and check the remainder. If the remainder is smaller than 2GB -> ok, if it is larger than 2GB -> error message.

Now you can fill the partition with rubbish or delete older rubbish until the remainder becomes smaller than 2GB.

I just came across this because I had the same problem and looked at the installer script. It specifically ignores the size check when you install to RAM:, so that's what I did and just copied the RS folder to the intended destination afterwards.
