- Please help me to solve my HD problems.
- I've a standard A1200 expanded with an
- 68030+68882 50Mhz accellerator and 8Mb
- of Fast ram, and kickstart 3.0. I've
- also a Maxtor 7540av HD and it works
- fine. I've decided some months ago to
- install a second HD to install linux
- 68K version on it. I've initially
- bought a seagate st850 but the two
- drives toghether dont' worked fine;
- after two or three hours of using
- the seagate drive turned itself off.
- So i changed the seagate drive for
- a Quantum Fireball 1080A but the problem
- was the same. So i decided to use
- only the Quantum HD but yesterday after
- using this HD for the first time for
- a long period the drive turned off
- and then returned on by itself! I
- don't know why this thing happens but
- i believe that is not for a low power
- (i use a 200W power). I take the
- power for the HD from the disk drive
- connector inside the A1200. Is perhaps
- this the problem? Or what?
- Another question. After launching
- HDToolsBox for the 1GB drive this
- program give me all tracks over 2048
- as broken (but i use them fine as linux).
- Is this a problem of that program?
- Thanks in advance
