@Jurassicc
i am now using 2 x hd`s , ( not 1 hd as before)
what i have done, os3.5 on mstr HD0 pri 4, and os4.0 on DH0 pri 3, slave,

i have tried to edit the 1200kicklayout file , but, the up & down arrows donot work ?

ie press up arrow, i get qwertyui/
press down arrow i get 1234567890/ while they move the files around ??? (QUIT quickly ) phew

does this soumd like the os hasnt installed properly ?

i will install os 4.0 again and see what happens.

if ok, what exactly do i type, and is there anything else i need to install/change ?
apart from the fast ata111 files ?
do i need to install my bppc 60 disc files?? or does os4 not need them?

thanks, mike

hi guys

i am new to os4, and in need of some help please.

i did have a dual booting hd that jurassicc setup for me back in march (many thanks) but my hd is now dead

i did make a complete backup of both os `s and setup a new hd exactly the same and copied them over , but to no avail.

i have decided to install 2 hd`s 1 for os3.5 & 1 for os4.0 classic

my sys p/tower bppc 060. med sx,fast ata111, 2x hd`s
& dvd & cd +rw`s

my question is, what is the best way to setup my hd`s for a dual boot sys using them as DH0 & HD0 plus there respective partions,

i have tried os3.5 as master HD0 prty 4 & oS 4.0 slave DH0 prty 3 & visa versa,
i got os4.0 to boot once ? now stays on a purple screen after second re-boot , sometimes on a red screen, disabling HD0 & booting from DH0

as i am not a computor wiz kid ( 57) your help would be most appreciated
many thanks
mike

ps if you need any other info ??
