When is 6GB only 16mb. when its on a 1200
« on: July 01, 2005, 09:56:14 AM »
I have just installed a 6Gb Hitachi HD on my A1200 but the HDtools reference is only saying it is 16mb. What am I doing wrong?
  I have Kickstart 3.1 roms freshly installed with a new Workbench. The Hitachi is a 2.5 inch laptop drive.
Help.

Is there no work around for a drive 2 gb larger?

Sorry I have been away from the Amiga for so long but where where would I get hold of these filesystem drivers you suggest? Thanks

I will try that but I am using my PC to download stuff but haven't figured out how to transfer it yet. I have ordered a transfer program but I am still waiting for it to arrive.
Thanks

I tried entering the drive geometry but ended up with a negative address range in kb. I will try the PC DOS suggestion.

It would be nice to get 2GB on the HD at the moment, but os 3.5/3.9 are eluding me at present. I do Have an Apollo 68040 with 32meg of Ram so coping with the OS would be no problem.
Thanks
