set up 60GB IDE HD in 1200T issues
« on: December 29, 2014, 06:01:25 PM »
hi guys, trying to get around the 'NOT A DOS DISK' error when trying to setup a known working 60 GB 3.5" IDE HD in my 1200T.

I've got a FastATA MK2 board, 3.1 roms, running OS3.9.  Dealt with this issue once before years ago but I'm stumped now. Tried booting from OS3.9 floppy with ATA driver for the FastATA but still no go.

The main intention is to set it up as a slave but I already tried setting it up as my main DHO and system won't boot further than the 'NOT DOS DISK'

ah yes I forgot that the older FastATA boards actually had to break up larger drives into 4GB partitions but anyhow I easily solved that problem in the past with running ATA3.prefs but in this case this specific hard drive wouldn't even let me boot up into WB??

anyhow problem solved since I dug up an older 4GB 3.5" ATA HD to be used as my slave drive in my 1200T and my system picked it up and formatted it nicely right away:) looking forward to tidying up everything in my tower and cleaning uop my man cave for some multi system demo watching tomorrow!
