Ok, I have hooked up my second SCSI drive to the Cyberstorm, did a low level format of it and did the SFS install as described above. I have placed several partitions on that drive but when I rebot the drived do not show up on my Workbench screen? but when I go into my SCSI toolbox it is there and all the partitions are there. What did I do wrong?

Hmmmm...It still will not let me format any partitions above the 4 gig limit? I can see the partitions on my workbench but it won't finnish formating the partition above 4gig it stops about 27% in, Im not sure why this is?

All my partitions are smaller then 1.5 gig but thanks for the tip. I will try to do a quick format of the drives.

Ok good to know. Does this mean that the partitions above the 4 gig size are not going to be as stable/relyable?
