Scsi harddisk problem on Amiga 2000

[amigagr]

welcome to the amiga comunity my friend and Don't Panic!
if the scsi board of the amiga is gvp maybe you will find here http://www.l8r.net/install/ the software to control the board at first. 12 years ago i had a lot of nightmares exactly with this board and this hard disk on the a2000 in my work...
this file http://www.l8r.net/install/hard_drive_cont/gvp_a4008hc.DMS if it is the right one you have to write it to a flopy disk in an other working amiga and then you will boot with this floppy.
if the hard disk has no damage the software will recognise it and then you have to make a partition, after that format the partition (with the same software) and at last you will copy the files of the workbench 1,3 disk to the hard disk. :roll:

maybe then it's wrong the unit number (scsi id) of the default setup of the part program. try this: click on the icon of the program and with right mouse button pressed search in the menu of the workbench a command like this:''info'' or ''disk info''(i don't remember anymore...) and click on that. it will appear a window with some informations of the prep program. somewhere there maybe there is writen something like ''scsi.device'' or similar and a ''unit x'' or ''scsi id x''.
change this numbers of the id between 0-7, and it is possible that one of this will work.

but how do you run the program if there is no icon? you can copy the icon from another program that has one and rename it to prep.info but because it's not the original there will be no options to change so try another option, if there is an icon of cli or shell run this icon and at the window type: prep ? and if there are available options for the program run it again with this options. if the reply is ''i can't find prep'' or similar you have to direct the prompt of shell to the director where the program is. example: cd df0:c or cd df0:tools etc...
