Cf Hd not shown

Retrofan · 05 October 2012, 19:18

Hi:
I had some problems with this Kingston Cf, 4Gb. The thing is that now I've installed all in WinUAE (CWB39) and there it boots perfectly, but when I try in the miggy I only have the insert disk. When I use HDTools with it there isn't any hardrive to make anything.

What happens?

Edit: Ah, I've tried the File system it uses by default and tried it, and later changed to PFS3DS and it's the same.
I've got installed a Fast ATA MKii, but I've got no instruction to use it, and the miggy boots other Cf's.
Also I've used Fixhdsize and it was right.

Have you used it before in the Amiga? Do you know for sure whether the IDE-CF adapter is working?

The bad news is if it is a problem with the IDE controller.

I've used this Cf a lot of times (I mean, with different OS's) with the miggy. Now that you ask about the id-cf, I know the one of the miggy works, as it does with another Cf, but not so sure how the adaptor I'm using now works with the PC, as it was shown as "USB...." instead of Kingston... when reading the config of the Cf. That's why I've used later FixHDsize.

Edit: I was having similar problems some days ago, but between this tries and the last there is the difference that I've changed the mobo.
I believe the fault is because of the fast ata.

Edit: I think I'm going to format it again in the PC and try again in the miggy.

EDIT: Sorry I did a mistake. My floppy drive wasn't reading my Install disk, so I made a copy from my Pc, but I forgot to change it to scsi.
BUT... doesn't matter. OK, it reads the Cf, but after partitioning it, it doesn't show any partition. If I run HDTools it shows the Cf with their partitions, but I haven't got them closing it or rebooting.

Edit: Ok, it shows the partitions after a Cold boot, not a reset. Will try copying in WinUAE my System.

Edit: Just to say that finally I could boot it. Now installing Magellan. Thanks.
