Amiga 1000 and supra hard drive setup

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

I can partition it and low level format it but

Oh God, not the low level formatting again!  Jman, there is another (very long) thread already on this subject from several days ago.  Low level formatting is something that is done by the manufacturer, at the factory, and should never need to be done again.  Doing so may have the potential of making the hard drive unusable.

(and on that note, I'll leave it to the other guys with more experience here)

Best of luck,
Mike

Hi,

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here, but shouldn't a standard format update the bad block list, as well?  Just curious.

Thanks much,
Mike
