I got all the workbench 2.05 disks and when i click on format it says that Work is not validated. What can i do to sort this out apart from using the workbench format cuz it`s taking forever.
I am running an Hitachi 6gb 2.5" hard drive
-
The Work partition needs to be within the 4GB limit- otherwise it will not validate. Reduce the partition size to make it smaller.
-
Amigakit are right, even if it does validate it will lose data as it writes over the 4gb limit...best bet with a 6 gb drive is to create 3 2gb partitions...it should be rock solid then.
-
Don't use anything past 4GB unless IDEFix (or another patch) is installed.
One more thing, use quick format. There's no reason to sit and wait.
-
when i select the format option i dont see the quick option it just goes to format so what command to i need to use in shell ?
-
Or buy a 3.1 ROM/Workbench to your 600.
This way you can use HD up to 4Gb (without patches) or even up to 127Gb (with patches).
If you don't want buy a new ROM, use up to 2Gb (ROM 2.0 limit) of your HD. No, SFS don't run on 68000 CPU. Only with 020 and up.

In a CLI ( =SHELL) type:
format device name_of_device: name NAME_OF_YOUR_CHOICE FFS (optional) fast (optional) dircache (optional)
