Workbench hdd problem

[scorpion]

Hi there,

i hope someone could help me out here..
i got an A500 w. kickstart 1.3 2 weeks ago an buyed an scsi hdd for it from ebay...
my problem is that i have absolutely no floppy disks for anything..
so i connected the hdd controller (GVP A500 HD8 Series II rev6) powered up the system and i got an error
on the drive was workbench 2 installed and there amiga dos says that it can't boot because of "patch couldn't be installed"
now i have some questions:

can i fix the problem on my pc with winuae? (it reads the disk ) - if yes how schould i do this?
i have tried to setup aother scsi hdd with wiuae to use it in my real amiga - doesn't worked - anyone an idea how to preepare and or format/setup an scsi disk on pc for the A500 ?
and my last question how can i make a working backup of the original hdd?

thx

maybe i should say that the suggested new drive is a 2gb quantum.. and in my pc is runing an Adaptec aha 2940-u/w scsi controller..

first thx for your answer..

as you can see i have a scsi controller in my pc and winuae can read the disk..

for softkicking where i have to place the rom image on the working hdd?

[scorpion]

thank you very much
i wil try to setup softkicker or wb1.3...
hope that works  

thats a big problem if can't make any disks cause the only available os wont boot

ok got it...

i softkicked the machine to ks2.04 with mkick and it boots
now without any problems... after several useless tries with other softkickers..

yeah i will get a ks2 from a friend next month, he found some oringinal workbench disks too..  

ich think will build a ks switcher seems to be better for working and gaming maybe i find some old sims for the gvp scsi controller to get the mb ram full.. then softkicking doesnt hurt meanwhile..
