Megafile 30 - No driveletter on desktop

[donnerkuh]

I´m using a Megafile on my 1040 STE. I´m able to use the driver disk to format, park, and create partitions on the megafile.

 

But how do i get a icon on my desktop (like for the Floppy A: and B:)? Would it appear automaticly if everything is ok? I have no chance to put files on it, or open the directory . If i try to put drivers on the harddisk with the driver disk, i get an error. Is it correct, that my Megafile is Unit1 (Unit0 to 8 is possible, should it be Unit0)? Is it a problem that the Megafile has 3 bad Sectors?

 

Please help

What version of TOS are you using?

 

Either pick the "Install all devices" option (newer TOS versions) or just highlight A or B, then

pick "install disk drive" from a drop down menu, as in TOS v1.04. Once the window pops up,

then you can assign a drive letter and name, etc,.. Put the new icon where you want it and

don't forget to save the desktop so it will remember the changes after you restart.

 

This is assuming that everything else (hard drive wise) has been set up correctly.

 

HTHs.

Problem solved. I had to open the Megafile and change the 3 dip-switches to "on". In the future i have to take care, that the first megafile will be unit 0, not unit 1

 

Thank you for your help!
