A1200 CF hard drive
« on: December 23, 2008, 08:48:23 PM »
I've installed a 4gb CF card on the internal ide port on my A1200 but when I boot into workbench 3.1 and select hdtools no hard drive is detected to partition.

Any ideas as to why?

I found the problem - I had a CF adaptor with the female plug (to connect directly to the motherboard) but had a 44 pin ribbon and a set of 44 pins (to connect female to female).
The pins are on a different orientation so I got a CF adaptor with pins and it works great now.

@Dwyloc

Yes I'm very impressed of the speed and the total price.

I spent about £20 on all the parts.
