- Hi,
-
- I have a 45M Addhard hard disc for the A500. This is one of those
- products where the controller and mechanism are all in one 'plug in' box.
- The Addhard system comes pre-formated with w/b 1.3 and no utility software.
-
- However quite recently my Amiga crashed whilst writing to a file.
- Now my Amiga will not boot from the hard drive. I simply get a requester
- saying 'Not a dos disk in device 0'. I think that the boot sector has
- been trashed, yes?. I can boot from a floppy in DF0: but I can't read
- df0:.
-
- I think that I need to re-format the drive, but I don't have the programs
- to do so. Has anyone out there in net-land have any experience with
- recovering Addhard drives. In particular utility software for low-level
- formatting.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Paul H
