A2000 hd install problem

[gazsp]

I know this thread is ancient, but I have exactly the same issue (different OS though).

Supra WordSync, OS 3.2, won't format in WB (gets to the end and says 'Not a DOS disk'), even though it partitions etc. correctly in HDToolBox. As soon as I restart the machine, the partitions disappear (basically looks like the RDB isn't saving). This happens with both of the SCSI drives I've tried, so I'm suspecting it's the card now, even though it was working when it came with the A2000.

@utri007 Did you ever manage to fix the issue?

I don't really use the card, but I'm looking to sell it on eBay, so it would be nice if it was working!

Cheers,
Gaz.

Thanks for the reply Matt. I thought your previous advice was pretty decent to be honest 

Yeah, it's not the greatest SCSI card available it seems! Just would be nice to get it working.

I might try shoving the values from HDToolBox into a mountlist and mounting a partition that way. It seems to be mostly working (i.e. communicates with the drive, can read / write to it), other than being able to finalise the RDB or partition formatting.

Guess I could boot in to 1.3 and try it that way as well.

Mountlist didn't work - neither did running SupraBoot from 1.3, although using HDToolBox from 3.9 did actually get the RDB to save / reload - I'm just not able to format any of the partitions (quick or full).

I'm giving up for now!

Gaz.
