I have an Amiga 2000 with 2090A and Seagate 296N. I haven't been able to get mine to work for the first partition (DH2:) so I haven't even tried others. I get the same error on DH2:. > >I've tried everything I can think of to bring it back with no luck.

Mine too, 'cept I was going from 2 to 5 so I go track 2, 3 to go. Drive light stayed on, but no activity. >I've tried re-Preping the drive, but all I get is >Device not PREPed. Me too. I tried powering up the Amiga with the drive off, then plugging the drive in, then preping res2: which would go off for a little bit and then say Device not PREPed.
