You say that the drive is 4.1 gig. Just about every Amiga user knows about the 4 gig limit under FFS up until OS3.5 / OS3.9
PFS2 can maybe still be updated to PFS3 from the site - haven't got the URL There should be some URL info on the CD.
Setting up Amigas using SCSI and PFS2/3 is not for the ordinary Windows user, far too challenging. The reward in configuring an Amiga is that you control it, it doesn't control you - as in Windows.
Definitely make a small boot partitiion (100mb - 300mb) and go for the direct SCSI option in PFS.
Use the hard drive setup program that comes with PFS
Set 200 buffers for the boot partition.
Format the drive using "PFS Format" (usually gets installed in the "C" directory) using the Amiga CLI (DO NOT USE THE AMIGA FORMAT COMMAND)
The easiest way is to copy PFS Format to ram from "C" then open a cli window and input.... ram:pfsformat ? (the space is important
The result will show your formatting options.
I use the following in PFS3..
ram:pfsformat DRIVE dh0: NAME dh0 VERIFY
Don't use the Amiga format command.
Also, VERY IMPORTANT read the PFS docs on setting the FILESYSTEM in the hard drive setup, I think it is something like "PFS\03" must be either selected from the list OR typed in, forgotten for the moment. ( I'm on the net on my Mac nowt.)
Most important is to really get into the PFS documentation.
I have two 9 gig UW-SCSI drives conencted to the SCSI bus in an A4000T
the only time I have had any trouble with PFS is when I added an extra partition for ShapeShifter AFTER I had formatted the drive and installed OS3.1
PFSDoctor seems to be a bit flakey, I do not use it at all.
PFS is notably faster from startup. The A4000T (060) boots up cold in 25 seconds.
Hope this helps.
