HDD DOS write error

Hougham · 29 April 2008, 20:08

OK my Amiga is back up and running. Well apart from when I am partitioning and formatting the hard disc. It works to a point but then I get a error saying something about DOS or can not write or something like that. I am using a Eyetech A1200 Hard Drive Partitioning & WB Istallation Disk. I went down to see them as I like next to where there based. Well were based. Guess they gone tits up.

I tried using a few other HDD and they all do the same thing. I can make a few good partitions so just ended up using them and deleting the duff ones. Not ideal but it got me started.

Does any one have any insight on this problem?

Thanks

Sorry for being a bit verge. It was last night and I was up till about 3 trying to get the thing to work lol. I just stock another HDD in and tried it and this is what it said (Waits for it to load) OK that freaky its now worked first time. I must have run that about two dozen times last night on 5 different HDDs. At least its working now. Thanks for your reply though thomas sorry to have wasted your time.
