Re: Amiga 1200 No HDD Boot but boots when no HDD connected

Hi All

I have a Amiga 1200 that was working fine a few months ago, fired it up today and it doesn't want to boot from the Amiga Forever CF and gives a black screen and then drops video signal.

I have tried disconnecting the hdd cable and it boots to kickstart and will run a floppy disk.

Any ideas on where to start looking from a troubleshooting perspective?

Kind Regards

Sounds like the CF card had died or data corruption, have you got access to another Cf card from a friend. oyu can also try booting it in WinUAE with a Cf adaptor to see if it is corrupt. oyu can aldo try to boot from floppy wit the Cf card in and see if its seen in workbench?
