Hard disk ain't mounting

[blobrana]

Hi

So when you choose the format option (in your menu) you cant see the drive....?





(er, you need to format the disk)

[blobrana]

Hum,
Well unless you`ve connected it up wrong (?), or the IDE cable is faulty (a good possibility) then the device should show up....

You don`t have to really have to `mount` the device...



Oh, the drive has been jumpered to being the master?

Better check

Hum,
my jedi powers are weak, but i feel that is not Reselection...


i assume you`ve soft-reset  the amiga just to make sure that it has time to `spin up ` and get detected...


Have you tried another version of HDtoolbox?




faulty?>

[blobrana]

Hum,
so there is hope left...

IT`S A 44 pin IDE cable ,huh? -
try cutting wire one (RED) -

(don`t do this if you haven't got another spare cable/ or shaky hands)

I just thought ,it`s strange that its 344Mb.... it should be 405 Mb
