How do I Install my 16GB CF Card?
« on: May 10, 2014, 05:19:01 PM »
Hi,

I'm looking for advice on how to partition and format my 16GB CF Card on my Amiga 1200.

I've physically installed it and I have managed to view the drive using HDTool on the WB3.1 install disk.

I have installed ClassicWB on a 4GB CF drive previously, but wanted more space.

I know it can be done and have scoured the internet looking for a tutorial but I can find nothing.

I have found that the WB partition should be less than 4GB, someone recommended 500MB. I'm hoping then to have just 1 more partition with the rest of the space allocated to it.

I really don't know where to begin with this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Rob.

Please can you help if you know how to do this?

I'm really struggling here. :'(

My bro bought me the card for Xmas and I never got round to fitting it yet until now and it's proving to be a complete and utter nightmare.

Thanks very much. I looked on youtube but my search criteria didn't pick this up. It's all very time consuming stuff messing about with amigas so I think I will come back to this tomorrow.

I'll report back once I'm done. I've previously had trouble getting my pc with winuae and windows 8.1 to recognise the card in winuae even when I've cleared it with diskpart. But will try again tomorrow.
