I replaced the hard drive in my A1200 after the Original 209MB drive failed with a 2.5" 10GB IBM Travelstar. The Installation disk on WB 3.1 was able to pick up the drive info without any problems and the system automatically created the first partition to be 4096MB. I also created a second partition and the maximum size I could assign was also 4096MB. I formated the first partition to the full Size without any problems. I Installed WB, Opus and some other software but when I decided to format the second partition I realized that after the system completed 50% of the second drive format then the first partition started to develop Checksum errors. After rebooting it seems that all data in the first partition is corrupted.
In did this twice already and same problem comes up every time.
I know that the Operating system cannot see more than 4GB of Drive Space in a Partition but what happens with the second partition?
Do I need to use a different partitioning tool rather than the one that WB 3.1 has. Maybe use a different File System?
What happened to the rest 2GB of Storage?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Note: The system has 3.1 Roms Installed
