Yes, I think the Amiga partition has been lost because there has been a FAT-partition on the disk. But how do I create a new partition?

My SCSI-controller is a Golem SCSI device. I do have a disk for it, but I didn't get it to work with it. Besides, you can give me all kinds of urls here, but how do I write them to floppy disks the Amiga can read with my Windows PC?

Hello,

Check if on boot your hard disk is recognised by controller. If not check jumpers on your disk and if disk is terminated. If you had something important on that disk you better try solving problem with another disk first.

You need drivers that come with the hardware. Most other will not work with your hardware so you'll be wasting time. If disk is recognised by controller it should be recognised by software. A manuall would be also handy. About drivers and info you can also check here: http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=46409

If you don't succeed a copy of correct disk via mail is half of solution. The other half is up to you. And about transfering files there are 2 ways (one requires at least 1MB ram and/or second drive and another serial cable). For getting dms to amiga diskette you require kikstart 2.0 or above. But you can use transadf with kikstart 1.3 and dms2adf on PC. Also try google for more info. And there is also Catweasel.

I just got it back to working!!!

The problem was that my scsi-controller comes with a built-in power supply for the hard disk. So I connected the hard disk power connector to that power supply.

Somehow, there did not seem to be power on that supply. So logically, without power the hard disk won't work. I now connected it to the main power supply and it is being recognized. I think I'll manage it from here.

Thanks everyone for your help so far.
