Amiga 1200 Hard Disk - PLEASE HELP!!!

[MrPaulT]

hi!

after 6 years of searching i finally got an amiga 1200 again, but this time it had a hard disk attached, which i thought was a great bonus! However, whoever sold it to me appears to have low level formatted it first and now whenever i try to set up this hard disk on HDTools, it appears fine, looks to partition fine, and then ignores it as soon as i close the program. When i run HDSetup afterwards it says "Not in amigaDos format". I'm getting incredibly frustrated with this as i've been trying for a week to get it sorted. I also got these GVP HD Install disks with it, but they are errored so i can't use them! Has anyone got any suggestions? All i know is it is a SCSI 256mb Hard Disk (which is all i need really cos i only want to play bloodnet). Bear in mind i haven't a clue about anything technical with the amiga so please if you can help respond in Layman's Terms otherwise it would go straight over my head.

Thanks in advance...
Paul

Hi!

Thanks for all your comments. well the hard disk is in some port inside it...don't know which but Workbench only sees it as a SCSI. Every time i click "Save Changes" it just ignores the save and goes back to "not changed" status. I tried some other software to install it where it said something like "invalid rigid disk block" or something.

I'm starting to feel ripped off on the hard disk...
