Hi Marcus,

I have more info so you guys maybe can help me.

The HD is a 60mb one and it worked earlier together with the "boot"-hd. I think there became some errors on the HD and after that I tried to format it in WB 1.3.

When I type info it dosnt say that it is mounted. It seems as if I need to do some sort of repair using a third-party program. I dont hear the HD power up because of the fuzz the working on makes. I am fairly sure it does start up since it worked before and I havnt altered any jumpers, cables or other hardware stuff.

I hope someone could manage to find a solution. I also post on several forums but so far Ive had the most luck here.

Best Wishes

Which drive is it that is giving you the problem, The 10mb or the 60mb?

Just my opinion, But if it`s the 10mb hard drive, Is it really worth all that trouble in trying to get it working.

It is possible to get hard drives much larger that for only a few pounds.

For instance, I checked on ebay and found this Hard drive, Maybe more than you want to spend, If you want to spend anything at all, But it`s just an idea.

Also if you are interested, I have 2 2.5" hard drives that are of no use to me anymore, One 60mb Seagate (working) and one 120mb Quantum (not working).

Hi Marcus,

Have you tried the problem drive on it`s own, On the the cable to see if it is recognised by HDtoolbox?.

Just a thought.

I still havnt been able to solve this...more tips and ideas would be helpful.

Markus, what kind of controller are you using?  Are you running an A500, A2000, A3000?  If you are using an external third party scsi device it should have come with its own control panel like Squirrelscsi or Blizzard scsi.

You cannot access drives run by an add-on controller thru WB HDToolbox in WB2.x.   I think WB3.5 up allows you to access any drive on any controller from HDToolbox.

I had similar problems formatting and using a syquest 135ez on my A1200 when it had WB3.0 or maybe 3.1 (I seem to recall).  My solution was to format and define the syquest on my A500/A590 using HDToolbox and then connected it to my A1200's squirrelscsi.  It worked.

Much luck
