Formatting A1200 with 3.1?
« on: July 07, 2007, 04:56:30 AM »
Hey guys, what options should I use when formatting my A1200's hard drive?  I know I need Fast File System, but should I use International Mode and Directory Cache? I'm running Workbench 3.1.

Thanks guys.

I would suppose I can get SFS from Aminet?

Also, I need to keep compatibility with the older games. Does the filesystem on the hard drive have anything to do with running games and software with WHDLoad and floppies?

Thanks for the link.  :-)   How do I go about formatting my partitions for the first time with SFS?  It says something about only being able to quick-format already SFS partitions.
