I have a A1200T with powerflyer, powerflyer and 3.1 roms. Ive been trying to get a hard drive to install properly for a while now. But the hd settings in hdtoolbox keeps screwing me around. Its a hitachi DK23DA-40F drive with 40.01gb. When i get WB3.1 to read the drives setup it tells me the drive is 8gb. If i use 3.9 its tells me 37.2gb or 8gb again.
the drive has a few settings printed on it
cy 16383
h 16
s 63
OS3.9 reads this when its 37.2gb
cylinders 43605
heads 7
blocks per track 256
blocks per cylinder 1792
bytes per block 512
total blocks 781 40160
what is the right setting ?? I have searched the forums for info and tried using a small install partion then sort the rest out. I admit im a bit of a n00b on setting up amiga hds be gentle........ where am i going wrong? idiot/n00b guide would be apreciated please... :-)
