First time install of TekMagic 060 w/9gb Seagate HD

[amigadave]

It looks like I will be pulling an all night build as it is already past 4am here, but since all of you to the East of me are up and online (61 users), maybe some of you can help me.

I am putting my trusty old A2000 back together with some recently aquired parts and need some help partitioning the 9gb HD and installing the OS.  The TekMagic 060 card came with an install floppy with an ancient FastPrep and ExpertPrep HD tools on it, that cannot recognise my Seagate ST19171N 9gb drive or my Seagate ST34317WC 4gb drive.  The 9gb drive shows up as 491mb and the 4gb drive shows up as 0mb.  I have 3.1 ROM's installed and 3.1 floppies, 3.5 and 3.9 CDROM's, so the question is how do I begin to get one or both of these HD recognized so I can start the installation of the OS?

Help!

@patrik,  I tried booting off the 3.1 Install disk and it would not boot.  The TekMagic disk would boot to a message that said you must boot to a WorkBench first before using that disk, so I booted straight to the 3.1 WorkBench disk, inserted the 3.1 Install disk, copied HDToolBox to the RAM, changed the scsi.device on the copy in RAM and tried to run it but it could not see any devices on the scsi chain. :-?

I hope I haven't ruined my brand new, never been used 9gb Seagate Barracuda drive, but I manually entered the number of heads, cylinders and sectors into ExpertPrep and formatted the drive into 5 partitions.

Not a bad idea Argus, I think I will try that next.  I worked on that A2000 through the whole night and crashed at about 7:30am (me not the computer).  I'll try again this weekend to get it all set up.  Thanks for all suggestions from everyone.
