Title: SFS installation troubles! Help!
Post by: seb835 on March 26, 2006, 07:51:25 PM

Hi,

As some of you may now know, Im trying to install the SFS file system on my 5 gig hard drive.

I found some crummy tutorial online on how to create partitions using HDTools and using the SFS file system
(http://eab.abime.net/faq.php?faq=amigaos_faq_item (http://here)).

But if I try to create a partition using the SFS file system over 4 gig, when I restart or try to format this new partition, it says partition not found, and DH0: doesnt even showup on the desktop (workbench 3.1).

Could someone please help me? I've spent a week trying to get this working with no success!

Thanks.

have you install the nsdpatch (http://main.aminet.net/disk/misc/NSDPatch43_20.lha) first? try to format the partition with both format_full and format_quick methods too.

-edit-
download the full sfs (http://strohmayer.org/sfs/files/SFS.lha) archive and read the .guide about installation instaructions.
