Format Harddrive to Amiga F.S. in Windows?
« on: June 29, 2003, 07:23:56 PM »
Is there anyway i can format any harddrive in my box to amiga file format? ffs/pfs/sfs/whatever. ?

Is there a program which can do such a task.
Please tell me if you know...

The goal is to use it in Winuae and be able to put it back in my amiga's of course.
Please help.

I must thank you all for the replies in such short amount of time. It's most impressive.

Speaking of file systems. I am aware of FFS limits,
or at least the limits which were present last time i checked, What version of SFS is recognized to be most stable and working? And is it still freeware?

Note: Stability is KING in my eyes.

I remember having about 3000 files in sys:c\
with ffs it took about a minute to list it all, with AFS
it took about 2 sec. Is SFS that good?

Sorry for being so... out of the loop =)

well in sfs_beta.lha i found smart file system :
Short:    Smart Filesystem V1.58 BETA
Author:   hjohn@xs4all.nl
Uploader: hjohn@xs4all.nl
Type:     disk/misc
Version:  1.58


the url is http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/
u get the file from there.

However. it is beta.

On a earlier search today i actually saw 1.93 or something.

Thus it can not be right i know, but at least, there does exist even newer version as you suggest.

Have tried to wipe a disk but winuae still does not see it.

What would happen if i now took and recreated mbr?
I am thinking about safety concers etc.

Ok, will try that!
Hope it will work as you say. I do understand that
it is the disk entirely that needs to be erased of course but i could not find options for that in my tested programs.. Thanks alot ;)
