but I have read that the Elbox needs to divide this space to 4GB partitions...
Well, read again... The elbox controller has an
option to divide a disk into multiple 4G LUNs (yes, a division at scsi.device level,
NOT at partition level!)
If enabled, the
whole primary master drive would show up under scsi.device unit 0
and at unit 10 @ a 4G offset
and at unit 20 @ 8G offset, etc. For ye olde softwaer, that can't look beyond 4G...
Even if the split option is enabled, you don't need to repartition the drive!And:
Don't EVER plug an amiga partitioned drive on a WinXP PC. It will see the RDB as a corrupted MBR, and will attempt to 'fix' that, destroying your partition data![/u]
RDB=Ridgid Disk Block, amiga's partition info. MBR=Master Boot Record, the Redmond imitation
