new HDD

[lazyeye]

i just got a 4.55GB seagete ST34571WC , other system stats are A2000 KS 2.04, AmiOS 2.1, A2091 V7.0 roms.


i goto auto set up drive but hd tools does not read the drive info. when i manualy put in the settings it says the drive is like 1.3 gb,
then numbers i could find out for it are this Cylinders 5178, heads 10, and sectors 512 .

does this perhaps sound like an issue with maybe i do not got 7.0 roms ?


when all this info is entered the drive shows up as a 1.3 gb drive. so here i am asking some of the knowlegeble people what can i doo to get the 4 gb out of this drive ? as i understand 7.0 roms can handle 4 gb drives. so if any of you know of issues

i tried what you suggested thomas with the drive numbers , wich afterwards i got a negative value and then the hdinst from aminet.net do not got an os 3.1 disc but the best i seem to be able to get is 1.3gb of the drive. so it has me wondering if the roms i got are realy 7.0 , labels do not look like standard cbm labels like my 6.6 roms does this seem like maybe a 6.6 version limit or does it not seem the same, could it be an issue with the particular drive model ?

thanks all for the help . it was just a case of being to damn tired while trying to do things i need to think to do, got it setup and working groovy.

in the morin things worked and made since thanks all



also if i have KS2.04 could i install os 3.1 on my A2000?
