Setting up SFS on a real hd with winuae??

How big is your second partition?

If you're getting outside the 4GB system won't be recognising the size with it's default scsi.device.
So you either need to have partitions <= 4GB or load an upgraded scsi.device via loadmodule command or via Blizkick (Blizzard accelerators), RemApollo (Apollo accelerators) or via a flash solution like Deneb's flash or kickflash depending on our Amiga.

Loadmodule is the easiest solution and works just fine.

Shame is that i can only get 4GB (out of a 20GB hard drive) but 4GB is more than enough i guess.

You can get just fine the rest of the drive if you use LoadModule (http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/LoadModule) with a newer scsi.device.

So if you put LoadModule in C: and the new scsi.device for example in folder Devs:
...you only need to put as first line of your Startup-Sequence the command:

Code: [Select]

C:LoadModule Devs:scsi.device
(LoadModule command will load the new scsi.device on power up and then reboot! After that and once your system completes it's boot proccess you can enjoy your full HD capacity. Just make sure that the first partition is always under the 4GB barrier.)

Bloodwych's awesome ClassicWB packs (http://classicwb.abime.net/) once installed have some new scsi.device version under "DH0:MyFiles/LargeHD/128GB_Support/" on folders "SCSI_IDE_43.23" or "SCSI_IDE_43.24".
