Newly installed HD not showing in Workbench
« on: May 27, 2003, 03:26:12 AM »
Hi All,

I found an old 6gig SCSI HD gathering dust which I forgot I had and decided to install it into my Amiga.

I am running AmigaOS 3.9 and when I use HDToolBox it shows up fine. I tell it to install the drive and setup the partition sizes and select reboot when offered the option after saving the changes. The system comes back up and nothing is there.

I have also tried a 500meg HD, a 2gig HD all with the same results.

btw - the HD's are hooked up to the internal SCSI controller in my 3000 on a chain with 2x4.3Gig HDs and a CD-ROM.

I got bored so I downloaded BB1 and installed that (I have heard a few conflicting comments about BB2 not being offical or something ?)

When I next brought the system up to use, the partitions I had specified on the new drive where there. A format later they were usable :)
