Large HDD capacity formatting woes in WinUAE
« on: April 01, 2016, 05:10:46 AM »
I've been following the instructions and guide in this YouTube video by fitzsteve on Tutorial - Large Disk Support for Amiga OS (Workbench), to format a 32 GB micro SD card that I want to use as storage in en externally mounted SCSI2SD micro SD adapter.

I have a primary or internal 16 GB card in a SCSI2SD, as my main HDD unit, configured with WB3.9. It is working very well and stable.

Just like in the tutorial, I'm using Classic WB 3.9 in WinUAE and the PFS3aio-handler. I can partition the card into 4 partitions of approx. 8 GB each, non-bootable (for storage only) but when I tried to format the partitions I can only format the first 2, before start getting a NoDOS device message.

What am I missing? Or what is missing in the instructions that I can't get the same result?

Why are you doing it in WinUAE? Just do it on your A3000 like I said.

Because HDTools can see the scsi2sd device but it syas that it can't mount or format the device because it is not supported.

Once formatted in WinUAE everything works fine. This is what I did with the 16 GB card in use in the internal scsi2sd.
