How many gig HD can I...

[leirbag28]

OS3.1 limits:

Max partition size 2GB.
Max drive size 4GB.


 Are you sure about this? I was under the impression
that you can use an HD higher than 4gb but that you have to make each parition a max of 4.3gb?
 I just bought a 40gb drive so I hope I am right :-)

 Come on People...........your really confusing the heck out of me.

 I know for sure that OS 3.1 can read partitions bigger than 2gig  using the regular FFS. I have a 3gig that I formatted it and read it and works fine, now I am sure it can read at least up to 4.3gig, Am I right?
someone who really knows please respond.

I do not wish to use SFS or PFS, just FFS

As I understand it and have been told you cannot make partitions bigger than 4.3gig if you had a drive like lets say.........20 gig.  in other words, you cant make two 10gig partitions with FFS but you can make 4.3 gig partitions.........is this correct?

"With plain 3.1 FFS you can use bigger drives by patching with TD64 or NSD, check Aminet. But no fix tools except DiskMonTools and just quick format (don't remember if there is 64bit fixed format on Aminet). "

 See this is what I am saying...........i know there is a way with OS 3.1, now I tried installing TD64 and NSD but im not sure they work, not even sure where to install them and how?

can I at leat take my 40 gig and make like 10 or 20 partitions  each 2gig in size?
