Adding new SCSI HD to my A2000

[QuikSanz]

First partition, the boot partition, 500MB is enough for all you need. Make sure to set all parameters perfectly, including the right file system. No going back.
Next install 3.1 and CDfile system.
Next install 3.9
Now use the new toolbox, it should show all of the drive.
Partition the rest as you like with a good fast file system.

Personally I would skip 3.1 and just go straight to the 3.9 install. Less likely to have old, legacy files floating around that way.

Would also suggest reading through some of the other threads on the forum for potential obstacles. LoadWB's thread (also on the home screen) might have some useful tips for you.

Exactly how do you boot form a CD with no CDFS?

@pneron,

Misundertsood, your already on 3.9, easy from there. Although there is wasted space on boot partition you should be able to part it out well. When you get all your normal partitions done you should see more space. Never got to 300GB though. Give it a shot.

Looks like it gave me 15x5Gig drives ~ 45Gigs for one type of config. I assume the rest of the space is wasted?

Try making some 4GB part's first, maybe game, tools or whatever and see what's left after.
maybe if some are "designated" it will move on.

Also, Google the drive. At the very least, heads and sectors.
