Harddisk problems reading it
« on: July 23, 2009, 06:30:46 AM »
Goodmorning,

I need to bring up this problem again.
I am trying to access my harddisk, which does not or can not pass the bootsector. It keeps clicking and spinning untill it promps: No harddisk found.

A friend made a Ghost file for me, but I am not able to access that file either.

The harddisk is a Western Digital AL2170 Caviar Lite 170MB. IDE/AT, 44 pins. Used to be in my Amiga 1200.
It has been devided in 2 partition, one for the system files, games and misc. The other partition is music. The music partition is of great personaly value. It contains (not-backuped) modules. ( (c) 1995-2004)

In the mean time I have bought a new, good working HD, but I feel the data of the old one is lost.
Is it possible to connect a second harddisk on the amiga 1200?
I have a SCSI controller on where I have connected a external HD.
Can I use this? Do I need a adapter or what?

Is there anybody out there who has been thrue the same problem and came with a brilliant idea to save the data?

please answer my desperate questions!
I will be grateful for a long time if I just could get my music back!
