I don't think the 590 will be the problem.

It has an SCSI interface, and hence should support drives upto 180GB and more.

The problem is the software.

I recently got a 4-GB harddrive working on an old adapter. What i did was use HDInstTools from Aminet to partition and QUICK-Format the drive.

You need at least FastFileSystem, though, and verifying the drive failed. Nevertheless, after using a quick format without verify the drive (or rather, the partition I made) works very well.

Have fun,
McTrinsic

If you have a booting Workbench 2.x Disk, you have FastFileSystem.

You can choose it during setting up the drive with HDInstTools.
