I recently purchase a used SupraDrive Atari Hard Disk 20Mb and I can't get it to boot with my Atari 1040ST. I've installed the boot disk and placed the SUPBOOT.PRG in the auto folder and it still wont boot. The "C" Drive does not come up on the desktop. I can hear the hard drive running but nothing happens. Any help on resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Press the resetbutton for about 5 seconds every time you startup the Atari. Then it should work.
