When I boot up from the IDE that's fixed I have 3 out of the 6 partitions, last 3 should be SFS. So I try to make them and it tells me if I'm sure and that it will destroy all data, hm, it IS a new partition because it just sees the rest as empty space with no partitions.

Is it safe to click OK there?

After all this time I finally dared to do this last step.
All my harddisk was messed up, but it was only that partition #1 was suddenly starting at cylinder 3 in stead of 2. After fixing this and having SFS loaded in HDToolBox everything went fine and I was able to copy over all partitions from both my harddisks to my new IDE > CF 8GB Microdrives.
Currently I'm waiting for a better IDE > CF converter, as mine i a double one but only contains 1 slot, so I can not hook up 2 at the same time.

So Thomas thanks a lot, I'm happily Amiga'ing again.
