Dead IDE-Hardrive..???
« on: March 04, 2006, 02:40:06 AM »
Hi all,


I've been messing around with ShapeShifter and decided to connect my 20gb IDE-drive to the ide-controller on the 1200 motherboard for use with the emulator. I connected it, formatted it and thought everything was going well. I then found out that the Partition i wanted to use with SS needed to have 512 something-somthing and not 1024. So i started reformatting the drive. 34% into the operation my sytem crashed. I had to turn the power of, and when i restarted the system wouldn't boot.

I've disconnected the IDE-drive now, and it all works like a charm, but it would really like to use the IDE-drive for the MAC-emulator, but i cant even go to the rom-screen on boot to select where to boot from (non of the IDE partitions where Bootable, by the way). I've also tried booting with the OS3.9 emergency disk but with no luck.
My main HD is a SCSI through the Blizzard SCSI-controller.

Does anybody know what's gone wrong, and how to fix it?

Please help... :-?

Hmmm, i don't have a PC i can connect it to. It's a 2.5drive. And the Amiga won't boot with it connected so i cant run HDtoolbox as long as it's connected to the Amiga.

I don't understand.. None of the partitions are "bootable". Why does the Amiga care if the drive is dead or not? Shouldn't i be able to boot with the SCSI hd anyway?
