Formatting my HD ?
Can someone tell me how i supposed to format the Hard Drive in my A1200 when it needs to have Workbench running to do it ?. I remember having the problem of not be able to Format it about a year back due to Workbench needing to be operational to begin with and if its being Formatted then it cant do it now can it!?.
This may seem like a really stupid question, because years ago i used to do this all the time, and now ive become severely stupid |

I don't think I fully understand this but have you tried running Workbench from floppy and then formatting your hard drive from there?
