HDD problems?

[blobrana]

Hum,
 how long is the IDE cable?
(Perhaps you could test a new cable.)

It`s not recognised when you hold down the two mouse buttons?

Have you tried connecting the HD to a PC to test?

You say the HDD LED on the Amiga is constantly lit up - how long have you left it to repair itself?

i should also mention that putting a cable in the `other way round` will sometimes blow a few chips on the HD ...

@Cyberus
hum,
you mean a PC/ATX or PC/AT issue?

[blobrana]

Hum,
that`s strange,
i usually place the red wire (on IDE cable) the other way round (next to power in) on HD..

Double check red=pin one (on mobo as well)

[blobrana]

Hum,
no jumpers set = master, for a quantum (i think)

so that looks ok...

[blobrana]

OH, I would!

imagine your defusing a thermonuclear bomb...

now, CUT THE RED CABLE...

(but the HD should still be picked up when you do a soft reset though...)


the ide cable on the mobo should have the red stripe furthest away from RF output socket, (there`s a number `1` printed on mobo)...
And the red stripe on the ide cable entering the HD ,should be
 closest to the power input
