- I've recently got ahold of an Amiga 2000 with a 2090 controller and an old
- slow 40ms 40 meg hd MFM type. I had a much better 40 meg MFM drive
- sitting around doing nothing. I've been trying to install it. Now the
- 2090 software indicates that you can specify a custom hard drive so that's
- what i'm trying to do. The drive is a Mitsubishi MR535 977 cyl 5 hds 17
- s/t. When i tell the prep software this and it says "All data will be
- erased. Do you want to proceed?" and I type yes. It runs the hard drive
- for a while and then just says "device not preped".
-
- I'm not new to computers. But I am sorta new to the Amiga. I've done a
- lot of trouble shooting on IBM's but this really has got me stumpted.
-
- Any ideas?

- Please reply by e-mail. Thanks dritter@direct.ca
