With the previous HD that you had you didn't have any freeze?
Also what partitioning scheme did you use on your previous HD?

I tend to make my own partitions 1GB just for safety reasons but logically you're ok with boot partitions under the 4GB barrier.

Also it would be a nice thing to try a newer scsi.device via LoadModule since your HD is over 4GB.
If you have ClassicWB there is a simple video you can follow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpKjbxflLLo&

If you don't then you just need to have a newer scsi.device that will load via LoadModule in your startup-sequence upon boot and you'll be ok with large hardrive support for sure :)

Where do i get a newer scsi.device from ?
You can get Doobrey's scsi.device 44.2 from 3.9's unofficial BoingBag3:
Download: http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/BoingBag3.lha
Path: BoingBag3.9-3/Files2/Devs/scsi_A1200.device

You can get Cosmos's scsi.device 43.47b1 from 3.9's unofficial BoingBag4:
Download: http://amigan.1emu.net/releases/BoingBag4.lha
Path: BoingBag3.9-4/Files2/Devs/scsi_A600_A1200.device

Just rename to scsi.device and put under DEVS folder.
Then using LoadModule... alter your Startup-Sequence and add the following command as your first line:
Code: [Select]
C:LoadModule Devs:scsi.device
