creating a 2.0 kickstart disk

[Thomas]

I never heard of an A2000 which needs a Kickstart disk. The only Amiga models which were delivered without a Kickstart ROM were the A1000 and the A3000.

Are you sure you aren't looking at this screen: http://www.gregdonner.org/workbench/images/wb_204k.gif

This does not ask for a Kickstart disk but it tells you that there is a Kickstart ROM version 37.175 inside and it asks for a boot disk (a.k.a. Workbench disk).

Unfortunately you cannot write Amiga floppy disks using another computer unless you have some special hardware like this: http://www.jschoenfeld.de/products/catweasel_e.htm

load workbench and it comes up to the normal Amiga desktop. It shows my floppy workbench disk and a RAM disk, but no hard drives. Any idea what could be wrong?

HDD died. Controller died. Contoller sitting loosely. Cables sitting loosely. Powersupply becoming weak.
