I need some help......

[maxplunder]

I have an Amiga 2000HD with a A2091 controller.  Rom ver1.3 and WB 1.3.3 34.34.  The current HD is Quantum LPS 52S (SCSI) and I want to add a Seagate ST12400N (SCSI).  I've got the Quantum set as ID 5 and the Seagate ID6 and terminating at the seagate.  Every time I start the machine it boots fine.  I go into HDToolbox from the 2091 disk, both HD's are found.  It tells me I need to save the changes. (more than one HD found I guess??) when I reboot It wants me to insert a volume called Libs even before it shows the CLI.
Please Help

Begin to change the Seagate ID to 4 as JimS said.

Where the boot partition is installed?

On the Seagate?

Ciao

The Quantum is bootable.  I changed the Seagate ID to 4 and got the Insert Workbench Disk Screen when I rebooted.

I changed the ID back to 6 and now the seagate is not showing up in the toolbox at all,  changed it back to 4 and still not showing up.  Its still booting off of the quantum.

the controller is at ID 0 btw

 What revision are the BOOT ROMs on your A2091 card?

Revision 4.0 = 512 Megs or lower Hard Drives
Revision 6.6 = 1 Gig or lower Hard Drives
Revision 7.0 = up to 4 Gigs, but NOT higher!

I hope that I have helped you     :-D

To Doommaster:

U have helped,   and everybody else too.  I'll just have to wait until i can get a better Rom or a new Controller

Rev 1.3 = Kickstart
Rev 6.6 = BOOT ROM Odd & Even Chips
00-04 = Western Digital Chip

To Everyone:

I'm sorry that I started theis post for help.  I have and will always do a Low-Level Format on drives when I recieve them.  I have never "KILLED" a HD in my life.  I've been working with IDE, SCSI, and Firewire drives.  My computer experence is such that I have rescued dead drives "BY" a LLF.  Since 1984, I have worked on computers.  I build them.  And though Amiga is fairly new to my experence, the SCSI bus is still the same.

 I just wish that if ya'll want to argue about this please move it to a new thread and don't make the person asking for help sort through all this garbage.

If I ever need any help again and post it here I hope I never have to read through all of this BULL again

Thank you
Doug

This is for EVERYBODY:

I don't really care about the arguement.  I guess I'll just have to find somewhere else to ask questions about the amiga.  all i'm getting now is flames.

  BTW the "new" guy (ME) is the one who posted this question in the first place.  I will report this thread to the moderators.  All I did was ask an Honest Question and wanted an Honest Answer.  This forum remindes me of the Democratic Underground Forum.  The first few posts I recieved was helpful, but it soon turned to a flame fest, vulgarity and all.

I hope you are all satisified u have lost a member
