My A2000 is not recognizing my Hard Drive
« on: August 04, 2011, 12:54:29 PM »
I have two hard drives in my A2000, It comes up and asks me for a workbench disk. I thought it was supposed to load the workbench off of my hard drive.

I load workbench and it comes up to the normal Amiga desktop. It shows  my floppy workbench disk and a ram disk, but no hard drives.  Any idea  what could be wrong?

I have tried re seating my connections to no avail...

Thanks everyone...
