format

i dont now what to do!!! the owner before me sad he only
clickt on setupdrive in the program and then after a minute
the drive was installed and ready. :-?

What version of WB are you using?
Whats the name of the program you are preparing/partitioning the hard disk with?
Did you create a least one partition and set up a filesystem on it (pref. FFS)?
Did you reboot after partitioning and get a DH0:??? type of icon on Workbench?
Did you select the icon and format it?

"NO DOS disk" means that the drive isn't formatted yet. How are you trying to format in Shell? Format DH0: won't do it.

Try to just click the "NDOS disk" once, hold down right mousebutton and pick Initialize from one of the menus if you are using Workbench1.3.3. If you are using Workbench2.0 you should be able to select Format disk or something.

it´s wb1.3, the program that iam using is tc utilities rev2.1 came with the controller.
no dh0: icon shows after partitioning/prepairing
when i try to amiga dos format the drive(in the program) it only takes 2 seconds then the drive is ready.
the first time id tryd to low level format the drive the program sad that the disk has read/write error, but now low level format works fine, but dos format dont work.
i have tryed in both the program and in shell (no dos disk in drive 0)
