#HD boot problem
2 messages in this thread
I've got a HD boot problem.
System: A4000/040, 2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast, 120 MB Seagate HD.
I filled up my 120 MB Seagate so I purchased a 850 MB Maxtor (mod#7850AV). I
formatted the drive, put a couple of things on it to test and it worked OK. I
didn't realize that there was a problem until I rebooted. The 850 Maxtor
doesn't seem to start "fast" enough when the system is power up. I get the
"AMIGA ROM 3.0" "Please insert disk" screen. If I warm boot the drive works
fine (the drive is already spining) or if when I boot I can hold down the two
mouse buttons then click on boot.
Does anyone have this problem?
Any fixes?
PS I haven't called Maxtor just yet.
I'm waiting to hear from the experts first(you guys!).
Thanks in advance.

Les,
I have the same problem, except the new drive I put in was a Western Digital
540 MB drive. It works fine but won't boot unless I do a warm boot. I have
posted several messages here for help, but have gotten no response. Hope you
have better luck! If you find a solution, PLEASE let me know!
Cheers,
Dan Wolfson
