1200 HD Failing - help please !!

[rja4096]

Hi I've just got an A1200 with HD. The first time I switched it on the Hard disk booted and worked fine. Since then every time I switch on I can hear the HD clicking and trying to boot for a few seconds, then I have to boot from a floppy. The HD worked one more time, and now I need to use floppy again.

Anyone know if there is a simple thing I can do to fix the hard disk???

Please let me know, Thanks, Rick.

OK, thanks for quick replys, but I know absolutly nothing about how to put a new HD in, would you guys be able to advise me how??

- My knowledge of Amiga stopped in 1992 when I sold my a500.

Would love to get going again, Thanks Rick.

How much for the 170mb? I can only see bigger HDs on the website.

Thanks, Rick.
