Scsi harddisk problem on Amiga 2000

[InTheSand]

Hi,

It sounds like the Amiga partition(s) have been lost, so they'll need to be recreated.

Presumably, when you start the system from a Workbench disk, you don't see any other icons on the desktop aside from DF0: (floppy drive) and RAM: (RAM disk) ?

Hi,

If you boot into Workbench using the correct disk, and then put your SCSI card's disk in the drive, is there a program on there called "Prep", "HDPrep", "HDInstall" or anything similar?

It's the age old catch-22 Amiga situation with disks - you need a working Amiga and/or boot disk that can read/write MS-DOS 720Kb disks before you can easily transfer anything...

An alternative for you might be to give the drive back to the "someone" who took it out, and have them format the drive and install Workbench whilst using WinUAE...

Otherwise, if you're stuck and prepared to pay P&P from New Zealand, I can send you a Workbench 1.3 disk with MultiDOS preinstalled - this'll allow you to transfer stuff to and from MS-DOS disks. But you may be able to find someone physically nearer who can assist...
