2000xl not reading my internal hard drive...

So i installed a new CF card reader, which is working fine, and I also
wanted to run an internal hard drive. Everything was wired and going well,
it read my hard drive and I formatted it to SCSI-1 and saved some files from the
CF card reader. Next I was getting ready to mount everything so I took out the hard drive and I removed the flash board before taking it out, and when I went back to turn it on nothing was showing up on my hard drive.

Since then I have re-booted both OS's, swapped out SCSI cables, tried to run my spare hard drive, etc, etc. but all with no success. I am using the same jumper settings as I was when it read the internal the first time. I have two 80 pin to 50 pin scsi adapters, and with one i get zero hard drive response and with the other i get power but still no luck reading it on the mpc. I have tried all possible combinations of both hard drives and both adapters, some different jumper settings etc.

Does anyone have any clues? I realize if it comes down to it I don't really need the internal hard drive but it would sure be nice to get it working again.

You said in your post that that you formatted the hard drive. Formatting erases all the data on a drive, so it's no wonder nothing shows up on your hard drive if you formatted it.

"it read my hard drive and I formatted it to SCSI-1 and saved some files from the
CF card reader."

Looks like he formatted the drive and then saved something and now it's not there.

It's not detecting the formatted drive or the other same hard drive which has not been formatted.
