A1200 - Booting Trouble
« on: January 29, 2004, 12:17:39 PM »
Hi all!

I am having trouble with my custom A1200T060. It won't boot up: booting from HDD results in a 8000 0008 Guru, disconnecting the HDD works as far as the boot up screen, but no disks are read (the disk drive makes the standard illegible disk noises). I have tried dismantling all extra periphals and cards (including the 68060 card), but to no effect. My spec: A1200, Kick 3.1, Blizzard 1260/50 with extra SCSI board and 64 MB of fast ram (two 32 MB units on accelerator and SCSI-card respectively), Western Digital Caviar 307 AA IDE-HDD.I'd be grateful for any help!

I've tried all your suggestions, no success. It worked fine, then I removed the SCSI CD-drive to mount it in my A4000, since then the A1200 hasn't been working. Any more ideas?

Thanks again for all replies. Nothing has changed though. :-( I've ordered a replacement disk drive to see whether that improves anything. Furthermore, I'm going to attempt to mount a CD-drive this afternoon.

Well - I've got a new disk drive - the old one was definitely broken. I still can't boot from HDD, but I'm about to install the 060-libs. Let's see.
