| Hi all,
I have an old Aspire ES 15 and would like to install Icaros 2.3.0.
I have managed to get it to boot from the CD, that was a struggle trying to get it to select the CD as primary boot option.
Unfortunately I am unable to partition and format the hard 1tb drive.
Is there any advice to get it working. _________________ 1 AmigaOne G4XE (OS4 Pre-Release Update4) Minimig Sam440ep + OS4.1FE Sam460cr + OS4.1FE |

Have you got an OS at all on your ES15?
Even if not, if you download any live Linux it should have a copy of GParted, which will let you partition and format as you desire.
Doesn't it prefer an empty partition to start with?

1TB is definitely a huge amount of space, since Icaros' SFS filesystem can handle up to 128 GB partitions. You whould follow instructions on Icaros user manual, which includes a step-by-step explanation of the correct procedure. First of all, have you alrady tried following it? |

Do you have a link?
Would AspireOS be a better option? Last edited by 1Mouse on 20-Feb-2020 at 05:03 PM.

You already have the manual in the ISO, under storage/icaros manuals. But you can download it from www.icarosdesktop.org
