Problem with making partitions
Re: Problem with making partitions
Solved!
Reading the forum I found a post by Outsoft with the exact problem in a CF CARD: Fat is wrong
Thanks to Derek
Solved, thanks to Derek
With this procedure:
WIN_DRIVE -1
WIN_FORMAT 3,4
WIN_DISK "REMOVE",1,1
WIN_DISK "CREATE",1,1,128
WIN_DRIVE 1,1,1
FORMAT "WIN1_WIN1"
Now please, if somebody has time...can you explain step by step why this procedure works and the first procedure doesn't. Has it someting to do with using ""?

Re: Problem with making partitions
Hi,
In the first message, you did not format the partition, where as in the second message you did. This could be the difference.
Basicall as you have found out, the exisiting parition have to be unloaded from a WIN drive number and can be reformatted or erased.
Try reading the QubATA manual, there is a good example on how t create partitions.

Thank you very much Derek
I completed reading the QubaTa manual for the second time today and with your explanation its much clearer.

Re: Problem with making partitions
After having succesfully formatted win1 now at reboot I keep having Fat is wrong messages.
Could it be that my SanDisk SDCFH-2048 is incompatible with the TDI?

Re: Problem with making partitions
The other strange behaviour is that win_ver$ returns bad name and not the driver version

Re: Problem with making partitions
I seem to have recovered the CF card using FORMAT 3,6 for 16 blocks.
As Jose Leandro states, the geometry is important to avoid the FAT is wrong issue
I still get a bad name with WIN_VER$

Re: Problem with making partitions
Ok, after copying files to win1 and verify they work I restart the QL and again I have the fat is wrong message, unable to link win1
Lost the card again
Back to square 1

The correct syntax is version$=win_ver$

Re: Problem with making partitions
So the hardware problem continues
After tinkering for many days and reading the manual several times the problem comes to this
I have succesfully made 3 partitions of 256 MB on the 2GB CF card, using tetroid TDI.
I have copied files to each one.
When I reset the QL, half of the time I get a WIN1 link fail and FAT is wrong. If I do win_disk -1 and then load the win1 partition it says bad medium. Then if I load the first partition in win2_ it works fine. Then I unload it and load it in win1 and it works again.
The other half of the time WIN1 links perfectly at start up.
If I cant trust it to link win1 every time I can't have a reliable boot program in the CF card.
I can't figure out what is the problem that makes it link win1 only sometimes.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Does it have to do with my JM ROM?
