Irwin Allen used to make a bunch of the stuff in the day.

Hi finally got the new/old harddrive and turned the Amiga on with the A1200 install disc inserted but still there is no hard drive showing ,I don't know if its any thing to do with the wires for the hd led lights and power led lights not being connected I don't know because I never disconnected them so I am not sure which wires go on to each set of three connectors
the top pic is to the hd led light wires and the bottom pic is to the Power led lights wires any help please , I can also hear the hardrive working but it seems to be spinning very fast .

If you pull off the LED housing you can see which wires are connected to which LED. Just squeeze it a little and tug. Wait, that sounds naughty. :p

AFAIK you won't hurt anything by hooking them up backwards, but these not being connected won't stop your hard drive from being identified by HDToolbox. When you start HDToolbox, does it say anything like "scanning scsi.device"? Are the tooltypes for HDToolbox set for the right device?

  Hi it said nothing about scanning ,and I am not really sure what Are the tooltypes for HDToolbox set for the right device?[/ or how to check, all I can say is the installer is 3.1 which I use on my A1200

If you right-click and get Icons -> Information for HDToolbox, what does it say?  I don't have a 3.1 system handy right now, but I do have some 3.1 install disks.  See attached picture:

Hi if this is it ,then it said HD Tools draw  readable, writable executable , delectable and nothing at all in the big box

oops sorry it said  SCSI DEVICE NAME =scsi.device
 SCSI MAX ADDRESS=6
 SCSI-LUN=7
 XT-NAME= XT

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Well, that sounds like the right settings in HDToolbox, then. I hate to say it, but have you triple-checked the termination on your SCSI device chain? Try unplugging everything but the hard drive and putting the termination jumper on that drive.

Edit: Check the jumpers on your A2091, as well. What are they set to? And what's the ROM version?
 
 Jumpers should match this card, assuming you have the same amount of memory:  http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/photo2.pl?id=a2091&pg=1&res=hi&lang=en

Hi on the HD it said TE, AO,AI,A2

Without googling the specific model of hard drive you have (which is something you could do), I'm going to assume TE is Termination.  Run your SCSI cable between just the hard drive controller and the hard drive.  Disconnect your CD drive.  Put a jumper on TE.  What you've gotta do is simplify your system down to one device.  Get it working with one device, then try adding additional devices.

OK thanks very much

Hi gizmo350 lol
                           I need to give Mike a rest so here's a question for you
 After failing to find a Hardrive that shows up on my Amiga 2000 I have a idea ,what if I installed a Buddha and attached a CF card or a ide drive ,do you think that some thing may show up then? just maybe ,or do you think that I would be wasting my money .. lol because the show must go on.very best wishes Brian.:laughing:
