Ok some more info on this problem
When I have the hard drive (a500-hd8+) selector to autoboot the hard drive led stays on and my amiga screen is blank .
When I boot from floppy and run the GVP Hard drive install disk and select expert prep it looks at the scsi card and all the drives installed on it , when it reaches the seagate drive the pointer changes to the timer icon and and the hard drive led again if on all the time .
This is where it stops , It knows that there is a hard drive on that id , but fails to perp it.
I have also tried another drive , this one is an IBM 1Gb . Same problem .
Up to 3Am this morning trying all that I know . Still failed .
I have an old 80Mb drive that works fine , But I don’t think 80Mb will last long with all the games and music I want to put back on .
Please Help !
