@ McVenco, Because the ROM's wont allow more then 40Mb. I think that is the limit anyway.

I think that is a myth. I am successfully using a 2 GB drive in my A600 with 37.300. I even put a 8000 MB drive in another one with the same KS version. It was correctly recognized by HDinstTools and I created a 100 MB partition on it, where I installed OS 2.1. I didn't try to create and use partitions in higher areas of the disk yet, but I'll investigate this further as soon as I have time.

I have a couple of 2.1GB drives but I thought that was far too much. But if they will work then that would be great.

I'm confident they will work. If the original HDToolbox fails to recognize the drives correctly, you can use HDInstTool from Aminet instead.

I take it WB2.1 is the highest that is fully comptible with my ROMs?

Well, which version do you have? If it is 2.05 (37.300 or 37.350), then yes. BTW: If you have 37.299 or below, you'll need to upgrade in order to use a hard disk.

Did you need any patches for that (e.g. patched scsi.device or something)?

@tokyoracer: Did you already partition the drive with HDToolBox or HDInstTool? What is you partition layout?

If the partition is smaller than 4GB (which naturally is the case on a 2.1 GB disk), it should work... Was the size correctly shown by HDToolBox?
