[Amiga1.3]

Hi again i have tryed using HD toolbox this time i can select the hard drive type WD93028 1.0 and then i save changes to drive and it came up with Error -1 on write! and also when i use low-level format the hd starts up for a few seconds and the just sits there and ticks away like a floppy drive and one more thing when i verify data on drive it says non-extended error is 0x10.
 
I hope someone knows what this means and can help its got me stuffed.
