Hi, I just purchased an Amiga 2000 with a bridgeborad. I have two
hard drives, One of which I have already set up a Janus drive on.
The second drive, that I just added last night, after having a Amiga 
partition created on it, will not format from the Amiga. Is it possible
to do this?

Here's what I did:

1> Installed second drive.

2> Created DOS partition (IBM compat.)

3> Formated dos part. (worked fine.)

4> Created Amiga part using rest of disk. (300 cyls using adisk)

5> FORMAT DRIVE JH1: NAME MARC2  (from shell)

The drive started formatting and quit on cyl. #6 with no error on return.
It named the icon for the disk JH1:copy and it is unusable.

Is there a way this can be done correctly?
