How many gig HD can I...

[x56h34]

OS3.1 limits:

Max partition size 2GB.
Max drive size 4GB.

I suggest setting up a workbench partition of let's say 500MB and another 1GB partition just in case you need some extra space for temp files and then install 3.1 onto the 500MB partition and once you reach to 3.5 OS then you can update to all Boing Bags until you have the latest revision, and then access HDToolBox for the rest of your large HD setup/partitioning. You can probably delete the 1GB temp partition then, but make sure that you do not fiddle with the 500MB system partition!!! :-)

@leirbag28:

You may not notice any errors right away with a 3GB hard drive if partitioned in such a way that there is one partition larger than 2GB, however go ahead and try to partition your new 40GB hard drive with OS3.1 and see what happens.

If you try to create a partition larger than 2GB, what HDToolBox does in OS3.1 is start to overwrite from begining of the drive space after crossing the 2GB partition barrier.

Trust me, there is no way OS3.1 can use more than 4GB of your drive space. You must upgrade to at least OS3.5 to avoid this problem, or get a better filesystem.

I suggest upgrading to OS3.9 as it is miles ahead of 3.1.
