It should boot to a desktop with NO disks inserted. Any blank floppy
should speed the boot process.

Hello!

I recently purchased an Atari Mega STE with an internal hard drive. For
some reason, I cannot boot into the internal hard drive at all because
I do not know what key to push to bypass the floppy drive. I am still
very novice at this, plus the fact is I do not have an owner's manual
for this computer. Can someone give me some tips on how to perform this
action?

Your assistance and advice are duly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Ben,

The TT030 is very particular about its SCSI drives. I believe that you
need a 50 pin drive that is less than 1BG drive. You can use the
licenced version of the ICD host software or the Atari AHDI 606 which
appears to be here:-

If you have some money then HD Driver really is the best package...
