Title: Formatting Partitions
Post by: pan1k on June 29, 2006, 01:24:46 AM

Hey Guys, I just got a 4GB Drive for my A1200. In HDtools i can see three partitions, but only 2 show up on the workbench screen. Is there a way for me to format the third?

I'm not sure, but try it, choose "show all files" from the window menu, and see if the icon pops up. If it does, you can do a format from the icon menu.

You can try this.

My partitions are named Work,Worbench,Data1 and Data2. If I remember I had the same problem. I went into OPUS and then opened my Work directory, took disk icon named Work and copied it into the RAM disk and the renamed it Data1 and then copied it into the Data1 directory and VOILA I had an icon on my workbench. I did the same for Data2.

Cheers....
Hope that helps.

Hmm, I tried installing dopus but I get an error when I try to load it. I'll look in to it tonight.
