how to format an ide hard drive on A4000
« on: July 27, 2004, 07:25:32 PM »
Hello,

I try to install a harddrive 10 giga(master) on my a4000.
I start with the install disk (os3,1) and the start hdtoolbox.
I configure the hd with 2 4giga partition, save and exit.
Then I restart the computer with the disk workbench.

I cannot see the 2 partitions that i create, they dont mount and I am not able to format them.

I am novice.

What can I do ??

Thanks

It means that if i only have the diskette OS3.1 and a 10 giga Hardrive, there is no way to use the a4000 ?????

Yes, it works now, I have installed os3.1.
It was just a jumper on the hard drive, it was set "master", I removed it and it wor well. I thought thas was correct, the hd was alone on the ide port but i remove the jumper and all is ok.

now, the next step :

I only have a scsi cd player and of course a scsi card.
There is only a jumper on ID1 on the cd player. I thik its correct.

Wenn I introduce a cd, it doesn't mount on the workbench.
I thik miss a driver or somwhatelse.
What do I want ??????
