Hi Anders

Just got around to make your images for 5.1 and hack. now when I boot the d8b it says boot failure put the disk in and continue. now I did not make disk one because it says at the end everything will be writing over yes to contine.
maybe I'm still doing something wrong. thanks for any advice.

I assume this is the installation using a floppy emulator?
When doing that installation, you have the option to format the harddisk before the installation.
This will erase EVERYTHING already on the disk - but I strongly suggest to do it, because I've had startup trouble when I didn't.
If there's something on the disk you want to keep, make a backup of that first, and then format and install.

sorry Anders

it takes me a while to get me going. I just must be doing everything wrong
I am trying to get the images you made for d8b 5.1 and V3 plugins on a CF disk. I can not find the format anywhere.
do you think there may be someone on this forum that can make me a CF disk with the hack and 5.1 and V3 plugins?
I would be willing to pay anyone to do this. Im just having so much trouble.. thanks for any help

I’m not sure, but some of what you write could sound like the images you use, are the images I made for the floppy emulator.
They wont work with a CF card.
The guide I made for the CF card is here:

Is this the guide and images you used?

[garrett21allen]

thanks, Anders

yes, it is the same guide and images. I will try one more time

Hey.

I assume this is under the "restore" tab, right?
Follow the guide - click the "path" button, and locate the "d8b-51&plugins.adi" file.

Go through the guide step by step.
If it still doesn't boot, something is likely wrong elsewhere.

B.t.w. - do you have the "new" motherboard, or the "old" one?
