Youre lucky to have had the 200gig drive boot at all. Usually larger drives require more power than the internal controller can provide. This may have something to do with why its so temperamental.
That aside, its not unusual to have to shape the drives geometry manually for larger drives. HDToolbox only saw my 400gig drive as 32gig no matter what I did. Thankfully manually editting drive geometry seems to work nicely.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Loadmodule? Hmm downloaded and will see what this does.

So I can boot off PFS without any fancy tricks?


Oh and a typo, I have an old 200mb drive not 200gb


Actually my mistake, you actually had written 200mb. The 200gb I mentioned was me misreading 20gb  :)
