40gig HD

[swift240]

Ok Guys,
I was given a 40Gig HD for Christmas I was going to use it on the PS2, but I think I may well use it on my Amiga (signature)
I have a spare IDE Secondary that I can use, so I put it on the system and the Amiga did not see it at all.
I used the HDToolbox and nothing.
This HD was formated from an XP system using the NTFS format command.
Is this why?
I can easily put it back into my XP tower and reformat it using the FAT or FAT32 command, will my Amiga see the HD then do you think?

TIA,

Mike.

Yes its IDE, and yes its set to slave, so I don't know why it does that?
I may take of the CD burner just to see it the Amiga will see it and then sort it out that way.
If I remember a long while ago I am sure I had to do that, take a the CD burner out and then put on the HD as slave (CD burner was slave)
And that worked for some reason, I know it should not work that way, but it does.

Primary Master OS3.9
Primary Slave nothing
Secondary Master DVD ROM
Secondary Slave CD Burner
So when I put it on the Primary Slave it don't get seen.
How ever a 100meg IDE Zip drive does as slave
It don't make sense.

Ahh yes quite right.

Ok, I use IDE`99 4 way Interface and the software that comes with it, OS3.9 with all updates.
As before.

Primary Master OS3.9
Primary Slave nothing
Secondary Master DVD ROM
Secondary Slave CD Burner.

I do not use OS3.9 CD drivers but CD drivers from the IDE'99 4 way software.
