I've taken a look at your page, I've found it to be
very useful and informative! Requests for help
on partitioning hard drives are really frequent on this forum, so your amiga hard drive guide is a must. I've also discovered things I didn't know: I always believed that hdtoolbox's bad block list could be only modified manually (not really useful, BTW). My hard drive has got new bad blocks, I've tried to fix this with the utility WorseFormat but it didn't work (after format the partition is not identified by the system), now I'll try the Verify Data option of HDtoolbox.
I'm wondering if the bad blocks list is recognised and used by SFSFormat, I hope so. BTW, just a minor note: in your guide you mention that SFS is a commercial product... it's freeware, a link to the sfs archive on aminet would be helpful for novices!
Another thing I didn't know was the 8GB limit. You're mentioning the ROM update, this is only available in Os 3.5 and 3.9, isn't it?
