New HD in A4000

[frl9lk]

I put in an 8G HD (old Seagate Fireball - IDE) into a working A4000 (replacing a 1.6G Seagate). Originally booting from 3.1 disks I've been trying to get it to hold a format. Things seem fine until a reboot, where it seems that everything has to be reformatted yet again.

I had a similar problem with my 2000 which was solved by reducing the partions to 1G each. Do I have to do the same here?

The jumpers are set to Master.

Thanks for all the help. I've kept the boot partition and a work partition under 4G (combined total)... that works fine. I just want to make _sure_ that I can add additional partitions as long as they're under 4G.

Thanks again.
