A1200 not booting Disks

[kratam]

I just got a A1200 with 8mb accelerator board and 170mb hard disk off ebay.  I formatted the hard disk under workbench 3.1 and rebooted with the 3.1 floppy in the drive.  The amiga shows only a little activity in the disk drive before stopping and comming to rest in amigados.  I had look in the boot menu but dont realy know what i'm looking at.  If anybody could help i would be much apreciated.

i did as you said and df0 is present also has a lower boot proirity as well.
also the disk that i am using is the amiga workbench 3.1 disk (original).  It read the disk but then said that the disk was not a dos disk?  no other disk works at all.  its a real head scratcher.

this is the same with all the disks that i insert into the disk drive, i think it may have something to do with the boot sequence or something like that. Any ideas?
if all else fails i may have to send it back.

thanks again

its a scsi hard disk if that is any help, dont you need driver s for those sorts of drives, could i have deleted the driver as well.

tried that and it still hangs in amiga dos, doesnt do a dam thing, is it anything to do with my boot sequence.
Remember i have tried a few game disks and they dont work either.

the external drive wont even recognise the disks either, so it cant be that, can it?
