Hi!

I'm new to Amiga... got a couple of A500's here. I have two MFM hard
drives connected to my A500 and they seem to work OK... well until I
fudged one of them up.  I selected initialize  on one of the hard drive,
figuring that it would just format and I'd have a new empty drive.
OOOOPS!

What do I have to do with the hard drive after initializing it to make
it recognized again? With the ALF floppy in the drive, the machine
boots, but won't go past the command line interface because of an error
from the the initialized hard drive.

Anyone familiar with the ALF2 interface?

Any help is appreicated!
