a1200 hd question
« on: March 14, 2007, 04:16:15 PM »
Hi i have two a1200's. whats happened is i have moved my old hd from my old a1200 and put it in  my new one. They are both the same type of amiga set up and hd  the main problem is my old harddisk wont boot on new amiga thus forcing me to boot from floppy. would it be summit to do with the start up sequence or summit else? help would be great. I am a bit of a noobie so any suggest will help.

ok its was working fine. I then added my eyetech universal 4-device buffered interface and the HDD worked well. I then added cdrom to ide and it went back to purple insert disk screen on start up. I have tried removing ide interface and just booting off hd and that dont work now GRR! I have tryed removing then plugging everything back togehter and it still go purple screen.
