#A2000HD Formatting
3 messages in this thread
I have a friend that just bought an A2000HD with 60 meg hard drive. Although I
haven't seen it yet he is having problems that sound as if they are related to
the startup-sequence. I am going up Sunday to have a look at it and if I can't
sort out the problem I may resort to reformatting the HD. Would this be a
mistake? It is operating under 1.3. I have reformatted and manipulated my GVP
unit many times using GVP's FastPrep software but I'm not sure that this will
recognize his controller. I'm almost sure he has the original A2000 controller
from about four years ago.
What software should be used to reformat the HD if I need to do this as a last
resort? Would AmigaDos FORMAT be sufficient if I don't repartition it?

Greg,
Yes, AmigaDOS's format command would be the proper command to use, but
pray tell…why would you want to reformat because of some startup-sequence
problems?
Don
Well, I haven't seen it yet so I'm not sure it's just a startup-sequence
problem but of course that wouldn't be a reason to reformat. I guess I just
don't know exactly what I'm going to face so I'm trying to be prepared for
anything. Reformatting is a last resort.
