A1200 CF/IDE Adapter - can not format DH0/DH1 and other issues

[LaserBack]

Hi All!

Well, I got the Amiga now And of course nothing is working as planned The guy who sold me the CF-IDE Adapter put in a 16GB CF that is not recognized at all. But the 2GB CF is recognized.

Unfortunately my (original) Workbench Install Disk is dead. But I thought I'll just see to get the CF "HDD" running anyway until I have a replacement So I loaded up workbench and want to format DH0 (200MB) and DH1 (1800MB).

I get to the point where the system asks me about three times if I'am sure that I want to format DH0 (DH0 and DH1 show up in the list of drives that can be formatted), but after the last check it tells me "No Disk in Drive".

Uh ...

Maybe someone can help me out with this
