Hard Disk Install Question (again)
« on: September 15, 2003, 02:56:19 PM »
Hi,

Sorry for posting another question on hard disk installs, but I just have a qucik question.

I have an Amiga 600, Kickstart 2. & Workbenck 2.05 (install) disk, and I want to get my hard disk seen.  I have installed a 500Mb laptop drive using the 2.5" IDE cable. This is as far as I have got.

I take it that I need to partition the new drive on the Amiga and format it to get it seen.

My question is where can i get an application to do this?

Many thanks in advance.

John

Thanks for the updates guys.

I have only two WorkBench disks.  One of the disks is the disk I use to boot to the workbench and also a Fonts disk.

I have the drive installed but it is not showing on the workbench screen.  The drive I think is not formatted and probably doesnt even have a partition created yet.

I think I will have to keep a look out for a later version of WB maybe V2.10 as my Roms wont allow V3.1, and go from there.

Thanks for the welcome, great and friendly resource on this fantastic (but old) system.

John
