Hi. I have a BSC Tandem ide controller in my A2000 with a 4.03gb HD attached.

My kickstart roms are v2 37.175

When I load the program it says my HD is 25mb. It then makes a partion 25mb big. This actually turns out to be 83mb big. I now have a 83mb HD that shows up when I load with my WB disk. However I cant install 2.1 onto it because it says to use the install program, but the HD doesnt show up when booting via the WB install disk.

I put my 37.300 A600 rom in my A2000. However the program could no longer find the IDE device when searching. It just stalled and froze the computer. When I put the 37.175 roms back in it foudn the HD ok.

Maybe someone could give me a solution?

Would formatting via winuae work?

How do I install a bootable WB on it? DoctorQ any ideas?

Thanks all
