What capacity is the hard disk?



Here is the first part of the OS 3.9 S:Startup-sequence:

C:CheckLMB
IF WARN
SYS:Prefs/FastATAPrefs
ENDIF

C:FastATA.driver QUIET
C:Stack 16384

C:SetPatch QUIET

Just attach the 40Gb hard disk first- do not add CDROMs yet.

What partitioning do you have on the 40GB?

As it is larger than 4GB, you must execute OS 3.9's Setpatch to get it to be recognised (booting the emergency boot disk will do that)

You must *always* run OS3.9 Setpatch and the FastATA driver before attempting to partition the hard disk.

If you have a 40GB hard disk I would recommend partition it in the following way:

SYSTEM: 500MB  (Make bootable in HDToolbox - checkbox)
Work: 1.5GB
HDD: 2GB
HDD2: 36GB

Make sure that the hard disk is set to NOSPLIT in the FastATA prefs.

If you wish we can provide a service where we prep/partition/install the entire hard disk for you and load OS 3.9.  We will edit the startup-sequence and install the appropriate FastATA software.
