Finally I bought  3.1 roms for my A2000 but when I install it refuses to boot.When I replace it with original ROM(2.04) it starts normally.

Finally it worked.I have new problems now.The HDToolBox can't see the hard disk so I formatted from Workbench. I tried then to install  Workbench to the hard disk but still no boot..The previous owner had two partitions and the machine booted normally.Also I have not light from the front led...(when the HD working).Do I need the disk hat came with the card?Unfortunately i don't have it.

Do I need the original disk that came with card to format the hard disk with HDToolBox?The HDToolBox can't see the hard disk.I've seen the icons in the Workbench normally but I can formatted the hard disk via HDToolBox.

The LED on the front of the case.The cables are plugged correctly but nothing.The hard disk(Quantum) has a light itself that work fine.

I ha tried reversing the power and hd led and the hdd led worked.I think the GVP card has the problem because the two LEDs work fine.
