Hard Drive Setup Ughhhh
« on: April 02, 2008, 12:09:56 PM »
Hi,

I'm very new to trying to get my 2000 setup...last time Hard Drive only showed part of the Drive that formated none of the other Partitions showed up at all  Partition is 260 megs as well as others for the 1 gig drive. So I went to try to fix it.
Under 3.1 Hard drive tools it does not see the drive, but if I use my tools GVP ( for controler card) disk I can do it.Should the  Progressive Peripherals  68040-33Mhz accelerator card be removed before install?
The prob is some how I have a drive on WB screen that shows up as A:NDOS Icon. When I setup hard drive it asks for install disk for DH0A and I have no idea  on how to remove this. something in simple detail would greatly be help full.
Thanks,
Xanaa

I go to install drive under 3.1 and click Hard drive setup ,and select English, Partition,Range 6, Click and then I get a error "sorry error has occured Cannot Partition this hard drive" The drive is a scsi drive 1 Gig and controller is A GVP series II .
Where do I find instructions that tell work bench screen in system what to load?
Tanks,

I have a catweasel card that I'm trying to use only for  a bigger drive and Cd drive and to transfer so files. I wanted a bootable hard drive so I got a GVP card. Could this be the error that I'm having trouble with on setting up scsi drive?
Thanks,
Xanaa

Hi,
I have tried to setup HD using 3.1, install(using hard drive setup)and 3.1 work bench disks I have tried all the values from 0-6 and nothing wants to go through. I pick partition the HD. I try to do a install to see where that takes me and that is no good it tries to write to the floppy.I have also tried using hard drive tools and I get the same thing. Should acclerator be removed while doing this? Should I have any driver for GVP card on boot disks? On my first POST I'm talking about ICONS that show on work bench screen. I realy need some help here.
Thanks,
Xanaa

Re: Setup 3.1 with Gvp controller
« Reply #5 on: April 17, 2008, 12:55:24 AM »
I had the computer up and running went to install 3.5 ( Came with comp did not buy it). System locked up.  So I tried to redo 3.1 and realy messed it up  :crazy: . I tried a  doing a partition of the hard drive using 3.1 install disk and kept getting a error say could not partition hard drive.I went to info and picked gvpscsi.device and did a save... still same error.I'm getting info here to use 3.1 disks not the GVP disks.
But I'm realy stuck here using 3.1 disk and getting no where.
Any Help?
Thanks,
Xanaa
