Scsi harddisk problem on Amiga 2000

[PatrickZ]

Hello

I'm quite a newbie to Amiga and I got a question. Recently I got an Amiga 2000 with a 40MB SCSI harddisk in it. It was then working good.

But someone took out the hard disk and placed it in a Windows PC. I have put it back in the Amiga, but it is not being recognized any more. I can boot the system from a diskette (workbench 1.3), but as I try to format dh0: it says Drive not found. It certainly is there.

Who can help me with this?

Yes, I think the Amiga partition has been lost because there has been a FAT-partition on the disk. But how do I create a new partition?

My SCSI-controller is a Golem SCSI device. I do have a disk for it, but I didn't get it to work with it. Besides, you can give me all kinds of urls here, but how do I write them to floppy disks the Amiga can read with my Windows PC?

There is a file hdinstall on the scsi-diskette, but as I try to load it, it says: Unable to load hdinstall: file is not an object module. There also is a program called Part, but that gives the error "Can't open disk 0 on the scsi3.device".

Sending a disk from New Zealand to the Netherlands wouldn't be cheap I guess, but if there's no other way...

I'm not realy interested in the contents, since it needed to be reformatted anyway. I also don't have the mount file. And the device name for my scsi-device is indeed scsi3.device.

Oh, and that solution with the scsi-id. That's very nice but there is no icon for Part. How can I create one?

I just got it back to working!!!

The problem was that my scsi-controller comes with a built-in power supply for the hard disk. So I connected the hard disk power connector to that power supply.

Somehow, there did not seem to be power on that supply. So logically, without power the hard disk won't work. I now connected it to the main power supply and it is being recognized. I think I'll manage it from here.

Thanks everyone for your help so far.
