Installing IDEFix

[Twin]

Im trying to get a 6GB Hard Drive to work in my A1200, I have worked out I need to install IDEFix and SFS (one of the available options). I have both, but IDEFix seems to be all about some CD file system, how do I just install what is required to use the big HD support in SFS (ie scsi-direct.device as I understand it).

Also is this the right process:

1. Install HD
2. Boot using workbench disks, use HDToolbox and partition a System partition (approx 500MB)
3. Install WB 3.0 from Disks
4. Install IDEFix
5. Install SFS
6. Setup rest of HD (ie 5.5GB partition)

Thanks guys

I understand all that, but I want to know how exactly you install IDEFix software? If you use the install script that comes with it it just install the CD file system stuff. The docs have a small part about installing IDEFix for hard drives but just tells you to put something in your startup sequence, its not very helpful.

I see

So if that stuff is in my startup-sequence, I should be able to install SFS and partition the rest of my drive into one big 5.5GB partition?

I can't seem to find a copy of SFS 1.214 anywhere, are you sure 1.227 is incompatible with IDEFix?

***EDIT***

Don't worry I think Ive worked it out!

OK, I think I have installed everything correctly.

I partitioned a 200MB FFS partition, installed IDEFix then installed SFS 1.84 into the RDB. Then I go to create another partition and HDToolbox recognizes the first 4GB in the slider bar then resets and shows the next 2GB (if that makes sense).

So it allows me to format another 4GB and 2GB partition which adds up to more than 6GB?
