Hey guys kind of an odd issue. I had the Cloanto 3.9 "3.x" Roms in my A4000 and I removed them and installed the 40.68 original commodore 3.1 roms instead. Whats odd is that my hardrive wont show the partitions and says they are Non Dos. However, when I boot from the Emergency Floppy with Amiga OS 3.9 CD all the partitions can be seen and accessed. Anyone can help me with this. I think it has something do with the skipromupdates or something but not sure. Any help is appreciated I dont want to install from scratch again as the system is pretty configured. Thanks

btw the reason I "downgraded" from the 3.x roms to 3.1 roms was due to the fact that floppy drives dont work with them installed. Weird right? External floppy wont work either. With regular 3.1 roms all ok with floppy drives.

Most likely because these partitions are behind the 4GB barrier. They will become visible once SetPatch installed the NSDPatch.


Hi Thomas. Thanks. What do I have to do to correct it please?

I have done as you stated and it worked im able to see the partitions on reboot from the emergncy floppy. However, how do I fix the partitions so i can boot normally from them. (I am NOT changing from the 3.1 40.68 commodore roms) Thank you
