Boot from the Install3.1 (or 3.0) floppy disk and run HDToolbox.

If your Amiga does not boot with the device connected, then either the CF card is not compatible or you connected it wrong somehow. There is nothing anyone else could do about it. The Amiga has to boot (or ask for a floppy), no matter if the HDD is empty or not.

Does it boot if you connect the CF-IDE adapter alone, without the CF card?

@Amiga Forever

I had the same problem a while back with an A600, with the CF adapter connected I only got a black screen. When I tried a different adapter it worked fine, so as Thomas suggests it looks like you have either connected it wrong or have a faulty/incompatible CF adapter.

Once you have that sorted and can at least boot to kickstart screen with the drive attached if you still need someone to setup the CF card for you I'd be happy to help out.

Steve.
