Elbox FastATA
« on: June 03, 2007, 04:11:58 PM »
Has anyone had problems installing a FastATA card?

It is detected by the amiga (4000) but when i load the software no hard drive or cd drives are detected, everything is plugged in correctly and with different cables.

Does anyone no how to do this, i even sent it back to amigakit for a replacement but the new one still does the same thing.

Also i had problems with os 3.9, i made an emergency boot disk and when i turned the computer off/on the disk wasnt reconised and the computer wouldnt boot? Why?

I installed the hard drive using the motherboard ide and set the partitions to the default spec as os 3.1 told me (50/50) but after it gave me one partition as 8mb and the other 4gb!?

After i mounted the cdrom with idefix and made an emergency boot disk this where i got stuck 'cos the amiga never reconised the boot disk and so i havent been able to install os 3.9 just os 3.1.


To sum up i cant get the hard drive reconised on the FastATA card and cant get the emergency boot disk to boot.

After i installed os 3.1 on the hard drive and installed the FastATA driver i connected it to the FastATA card and hoped it would boot but it never.
