I have an Amiga 4000 and I installed OS3.1 on a 2.1 Gig hard drive, then ASIMCDFS, then I installed OS 3.9. Now, how can I install OS 3.9 on a 40 gig ide drive?
I need step by step instructions.
I tried unplugging the CDROM and made the 40 gig ide drive a slave and so when booting OS 3.9 from the small drive I used the HD Toolkit to try to partition it. When I try - it reboots and I do not see the icons of the partitions to format them....how do I format them?
What am I doing wrong?

Run HDToolbox again with both drives connected and click on the old 2.1 gig drive. If a requester appears telling that drives have been added or removed, let it save the changes. Reboot and check if the partitions are shown now.
If not, you should either make smaller partitions or increase the block size. Use the "Change" button in the "Partition drive" dialogue to change the file system block size. Do this for each partition which is not shown.
If you want to boot from the 40 gig drive, don't forget to set the "bootable" checkbox for the boot partition.
Bye,
