Amiga 1200 No HDD Boot but boots when no HDD connected

[silversrfa]

Hi All

I have a Amiga 1200 that was working fine a few months ago, fired it up today and it doesn't want to boot from the Amiga Forever CF and gives a black screen and then drops video signal.

I have tried disconnecting the hdd cable and it boots to kickstart and will run a floppy disk.

Any ideas on where to start looking from a troubleshooting perspective?

Kind Regards

Yes I think you are correct. I have a compact card reader on my PC and it doesn't show any disk inserted when I put the CF card from the Amiga in. When I try a different card it works fine. Looks like my compact Flash is fried.

Do you have any link to how I create a new one by any chance?
