Update, apologies shouldn't rely on memory. User Guide says
*Configure Boot
*Configure FileSystem 4
*Opt 4,2
This should now run the !Boot
I am trying to prepare an old RPC for sale. It was missing a HDD so I
found one from my collection, placed it another machine, via an ARCin
card, downloaded the clean boot from Risc OS Ltd and carried out the
install on the replacement drive.
I then put the HDD in the machine I wish to sell and it keeps telling me !Boot has not been run and that I cannot re-configure the machine.

You could try the following

Provided you have access to the star command you can use the built in

What version of RISCOS do you have in the machine and did you get the corresponding one for the version?
4.02 and yes
Also when you did the reformat of the drive did you make it bootable?
I haven't reformatted the drive, it was used in my Kinetic (4.39) on an
ARCin card, it was used as a backup for the main drive. When it was originally formatted, I would have made it bootable because I can't see
any reason not to. I have done a Verify and all is good.
Tomorrow I will start from scartch and do a format
