Switch number 7 off and check if at the desktop format dialog "HD Floppy Format" disappeared.

I finally found the issue, it seems that both cables I was using had problems. I made a new one and the floppy issue is now fixed.
All drives including the GoEx are now working, so now I can start troubleshooting other issues with this machine.
Retro stuff
520 STF/ 1040 STE / Mega ST / 2 Mega STE / 2 H5
2 x 600XL with U1MB /SOFIA 2/ AVG CART / and a few 1050
Apple //c, Commodore 128, Mac Classic, SE/30, LC, IIvi and PB G3 (Clamshell)
Amiga 600 and a few 486 and 386.
Many Nintendo G&W and other electronic games from the late 70s/early 80s.
