Setting up an 80Gb hard drive on OS3.9

[whiteb]

I'm trying to install a 20GB hard drive on a 1200 with accelerator board; I have 3.0 kickstart and I'm trying to use FastROMAtaPatch for the scsi.device and fixhdsize, but the maximum amout is always 8GB!!
What can I do??

The answer is in the posts above.

Run IDEFIX, it contains a number of patches to Scsi.device that are sessential, and run a better File system than FFS, like SPS or something.

I have a 20GIG in my A1200.

But AFAIK, Workbench 3.9+ you do not need IDEFIX.  BUT !!!!!!!!!!, to install 3.9, you need a CDROM, to access the disk, and since you do not get those drivers from the CDROM until you have a cdrom drive working.... hmmmm..

Use IDEFIX, install 3.9, delete IDEFIX.  but as you have kickstart 3.0, you are running Workbench 3.0/3.1 yes ?, IDEfix for you my buddy.

Buf IDEfix is free? I found idefix97.lha, is the one you are talking about?

IDEFIX is not free, you can 'Register it' through Vesalia, but it is FULLY functional in its downloadable state, yes IDEFix97 from Aminet. Check the docs.

[edit] from Readme file.
