Compaq Flash

[JLPedro]

Just tried to install a 256 mb Lifetech with a compaq flash adapter and i dont know how to format it. Does it apears an incon on desktop? or the drive unformated is just visible under hd formating tools?

I'd say it should appear on your desktop, if only as a ??? volume. But it may be that you only see it with the hd tools as it is. Have you tried that? Maybe just try a format DH0: from the CLI and see what happens? Could try info from CLI and see if it shows up there.

Only other thing I can think, is that if it is acting like a real HD then it will definitely need to be partitioned first before the Amiga will even see it. So try an HD partitioning program and see if that works.

Whereabouts is the compact flash adaptor plugged intp?

[JLPedro]

it's plugged into the 44 pin ide of the A1200.

Done it! managed to partition it with hdtoolbox, after that WB reconised it like a real hd and the light blinks like the real one!
Thanks for the help.
