A600 HD Installation Problems

[devin]

Hello all! I've followed the excellent guide posted by InTheSand about installing the Hard Disk.

Link here...

But I get stuck by point 41 here...
http://www.cdv.co.nz/support/amiga/001/09.php

Click the DH0, hold down the right mouse button, then go up to the "Icons" menu and choose the "Format Disk..." option. Briefly the message "Attempting to load program SYS:System/Format" appears in the black top bar of workbench whilst accessing the floppy (With the Workbench Install disk inserted!) drive. Then nothing happens!

Can anyone please show me what's going wrong? Help greatly appreciated.

well,
in my opinion you should have 4 floppy dics like me to install the whole A600HD and what I think is that your Amiga is just looking the command "format" on your HD and do not find it bcoz it has not been copied yet.

Good Luck!

Try loading Workbench from your original WB2.0 floppy disk (not the HDInstall floppy disk) and format the hard drive from there as per point 41 iin the tutorial.
