Ide-fix express problems

[theformula]

Hi I am attempting to get an ide fix express working on my A1200. I have installed os 3.9 on my harddisk. I have tired to boot with the ide adapter not connected to gayle and it works fine but when  I connected to the gayle adapter (with both jumpers) I boot after some time and get insert disk screen. Then I boot from floppy disk and my hard drive is not show. I am using a 2.5 inch drive from amigakit would this be the problem? I have considered formatting the drive but i dont wanna loose everything.

I have been trying to get this to work for ages and I cannot find any other posts on it anywhere (apart from me  :lol: ) and I lost the instructions  :cry:

This is the hard disk I have http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=277&osCsid=9760bbef13f747add1db7eb3a70c1843

@ DoctorQ
Sorry I am a bit of a Noobie how would I do that :-P

@ AmigaMance

It boots withouts jumpers but only to insert disk screen

i am thinking I might grab a 3.5 one off my mate and see if it works. I will just keep trying loads I dont mind as I can shove this 2.5 hd into another miggy.
