Hi,
I have a little problem with my A1200.
I formatted and reinstalled everything recently (OS 3.1) and it worked
well for a few days.
Suddenly an error appeared, and it happens each time I restart the
Amiga. It seems that WB can't read "ENV:Sys/locales.prefs".
I tried to change my preferences and save it (it works, it's saved, but
the error is still here), and I even tried to erase the file
locales.prefs to let the system write it.
It doesn't work neither.
Is anyone here have a solution or even a clue ?
Thanks a lot !

I doubt that you'll get much help in this forum as the traffic is nonexistent. You'd do better asking at EAB (http://eab.abime.net/) or even Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/CommodoreAmiga/).
That said, have you checked that the ENV assignment points to a correct location? Or that the locales.prefs are read after ENV is set? It is probably somewhere in startup-sequence.
Or maybe you could try to open the locales.prefs with text / hex editor etc. to see if it will open normally and there are no disk errors or some such.
It's been a long while I last fiddled with WB boot routine so I may be in error.

Thanks for your answer, I'll check one of these forums.
I tried to open the file with a text editor, with no success that wasn't
readable characters.
I'll check the boot sequence.
Thanks

Hi,
I removed the hard drive as it was really noisy.
I use a Compact Flash card instead.
