Hi all,
Wonder if you can shed any light on this problem! I've recently installed an
EBay-bought 2.5" hard drive into my Amiga 1200. It was previously used in a PC laptop I believe and it's an IBM model. It had worked temprementally but now on power up it makes a low hesistant grumbling noise, and instead of booting into Workbench (which I was able to install successfully) I get the purple "Insert Disk" screen and the hard drive starts to do a very good impression of a police siren! I suppose the drive is knackered, the police siren noise is it's out of control spinning behaviour, and the moral of the story is buy from Amigakit. Any other thoughts / suggestions?
