I also have a fixed computer but I have to fix it up I am waiting for the new CPU

i have an Samsung NC10 compatible with aros is a netbook computer

thread for those who want to sell hardware compatible with aros

I was thinking of releasing a beta 2 friends of aros:)

you can use a usb key installation also

Hmm, I didn't pay attention when doing test installs on AHCI last week. I will repeat these tests to see if this happens on my configurations as well.

[quote name=deadwood post=4066]@deadwood - [quote name=Studenteer post=4065]@Studenteer The "ahci.device"-problem seems to be related to driver.

Like I said, it is like AROS do not know, that there is more space left then 7.5 GB - no forcing, no work around, just those 7.5 GB avaible (also with the computers of "recommened hardware"). No possiblitly to gain full access to storage-capacity, while running AHCI. EDIT: As it seems, AROS can see partitions larger then 7.5 GB though AHCI, but it have no option to use those. The storage capacity over 7.5 GB still left untouched.

[quote name=Puni post=4064]@Puni If you are interested Deadwood, I can post the specs of the computer here along with the error message I receive? Thanks for the help so far. :-)[/quote] No need right now - I will try to reproduce this problem on test hardware I have.

[quote name=deadwood post=4037]@deadwood - Let me know if switching to ata.device solves your issues. That would be weird and definatelly something to look into - there shouldn't be such limitation on ahci.device. (...) One other thing you could try is during InstallAROS instead of letting AROS use "whole" size of disk, force it to use something like 120GB. If I recall correctly it is possible that AROS has 128GB partition size limit so your whole disk won't be used anyhow. [/quote] The "ahci.device"-problem seems to be related to driver. ANY Computer I had ever installed AROS at least once got those problems when installing on AHCI. Every time facing this bug, it seems like AROS do not know, that there is more space left, when AHCI is activated. Because of this issue of approx. 7.5 GB space while more available, I recommening to avoid AHCI as driver as possible.

Unfortunately, the BIOS does not allow (it does not even have the option) to switch to SATA/IDE. The laptop is from HP. I checked customer service and this is one of many laptops HP has released that has this restriction. I got an error message when I tried to force it to use a specific size. I think I will use this machine for another project and find a more suitable one for AROS. :-) If you are interested Deadwood, I can post the specs of the computer here along with the error message I receive?

good:)

Thanks for the helpful information. You are correct in that I'm running AHCI. I will try what you suggested! (y) Cheers!

Sounds like you running your storage on AHCI. For fixing it, you should check in your BIOS-Settings, if you can switch your mode of handling internal disk from AHCI to SATA or IDE. If possible, select SATA or IDE-Mode and reinstall AROS. After that, you should gain full storage capacity. Note, that your datas saved on your harddisk before will be lost - so a reinstallation of AROS will be nessacary.

Hi, A beginner with AROS here. I managed to install AROS on a laptop. Unfortunately I can't get it to see more than apx. 7.5 GB of the HDD's size. The original size of the HDD is 500 GB. It had Linux (Peppermint) on it from before, but wiped the disk (using the AROS Installer tool), so it should all be gone. I've also used HDToolbox to try to partition it manually, but only about 7.5 GB of free space shows up there as well. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! :)

For Icon Builder I started the Apply Composite function that will allow combining a tile image with a glow border. That just leaves Change Glow Tint and Assemble Icons then it will be completed. The Assemble Icons function will use a Progress Indicator much like the one Magellan uses. The code for that will be re-used for Sun-Ray also when rendering scenes to indicate progress. I'd like say that Icon Drop will be the first Icon Tool to be both AROS & Amiga compatible using the same source code to compile for both. But that title goes to Icon Split CLI instead. It works on AROS and Amiga OS 3.5/3.9 with the same source, unchanged for both platforms. The major obstacle keeping me from making the previous Icon Tools from working also on Amiga was the display method. I was using CybergraphX WritePixelArrayAlpha to display images. The alternate method for Amiga was BltBitMaptoRastPort but it requires a bitmap. Using the Direct Draw Method I developed for Icon Builder now I can use Graphics Library to draw directly to a RasterPort with Alpha Blending. That should work with Amiga also.

everything is online

Then I upload in these hours on my website
