Try to launch falcon to clean desktop (boot with control pressed as far I remember).
Set up some kind of reasonable resolution and launch hd driver from floppy. If everything is set up correctly (you should receive the list of drives that you have connected, if not I cannot help, check out connectors or check out hard drive jumpers or anything if everything is correct).
Next format the whole drive, and divide it into partitons. If everything is ok, install hd driver (you will install it on hd), then choose auto configuration (you should receive the list of available hd devices). After that you can configure other options of hddriver, like caches, DMA background for MAgic and so on... If something is screwed up, then I cannot help. Have you used this hd drive before?
I use scsi drives all the time, i haven't managed to connect any IDE drive to this day (CT60 on or off I alwas receive garbage on IDE).
If you have scsi device then I suggest you changing version of hddriver 8.13 or below 8.00 (eg. 7.90). Those versions between 8.00 and 8.13 have problems with CT60.
Additionally if you have scsi drive then check out if it is correctly terminated.
And don't use AHDI it's obsolete....
cheers
