Anyhow I choose two drives and formatted the HDD just fine and it's running a treat (as drive 4), but riscos shows a drive 5 and when I double click on it the system grinds to a halt for a while and then displays an error message. Any idea how to get rid of drive 5?
Press F12 and do:
Status [Return]
This will list stuff, one line of which will say something like:
IDEdiscs 2
Now type, at the star prompt:
Configure IDEdiscs 1 [Return]
Press Return again to re-enter the desktop.
I /think/ it's 'IDEdiscs' for the 3020, but some m/cs used 'ADFSdiscs'
instead (A3000?).
If necessary do a power on with the R key held down.
That should sort it.
Look at my 'What to do if your hard disc fails to Boot' on my Software
