When I disable Autoboot on Dip switches HDtoolbox finds no Drive.
I was possible for me to boot into Workbench with the 590 Setup Disk.
In this way i can see the harddrive in hdtoolbox.
This is all normal so far. With autoboot disabled the driver needs to loaded from disk - the setup disk takes care of this.
But if i click on save nothing happens anymore. I can click on any button, nothing happens. Only a restart helps. The lowlevel format breaks after reading prep script is on screen.
Before you click Save or lowlevel format or anything else, click on the drive itself in the upper listing. Is the partition drive button available? If so, click it. It will show you the current layout of the drive. If that's not an option, you may need to reinstall the RDB. Click install drive on the left side of the HDToolbox window, then define new, then read configuration. After that you should be able to partition the drive.
You shouldn't ever need to lowlevel format a drive - I think only very old hard drives needed that, and only then straight from the factory. Since this drive has already been used in an Amiga a simple partitioning and quick formatting should work.
