I was working on my EII+ HD and got a similar error, all I did was opened it up and reseated all the HD related cables along with the small SCSI board located by the Mix Output. Then it worked. Do you hear your hard drive spinning up and being accessed?

[roginator]

didnot work.. tried that with all cables
Also HD is giving me some blinking !!!

But why it doesnot load diskette ??

[roginator]

ok

managed to load system from disk BUT!!!

For HD Disk 2 it cant find it

for disk 1 load ..it have message diskformat error and from that disk it loaded system

It sounds exactly like what happened to me last year with my HD. I erased the software on the HD and after that the system just would not see it.
Do you have the HD OS on floppy? It has to be the specific one in order for the system to recognize the drive. Out of the 300+ floppies I have, only ONE would do it. If I recall, it was the oldest OS version. Think it was 1.01 or something.
I am guessing the OS got corrupted somehow and now it won't see the HD.
Let me know.
