Shapeshifter HD Question
« on: December 22, 2003, 12:59:38 PM »
Hi folks,

Just a quick question, when formatting an Amiga HD partition as a Mac HD on the Mac side, would i format as a Macintosh disk or a PC Formated disk? As the latter only seems to work (although i haven't fully tested it). I get an error message with the other one.

Thanks,

Thanks for the replies,

The partition size is 3.9gig. I think the message i get under Mac emulation when formatting the HD in Mac format is something like "disk is deffective", i think, or something like that. When i do PC format, it seems to be formatting.

I too have heard of problems above the 4gig barrier, hence that is why i have done 3.9gig for now. I have system software 7.5.5. I currently use a hard file, but that is too slow at times when reading/writing things to it. So i am using a dedicated partition. If the system software doesn't support the partition size i am using then please let me know and i will lower it.
