How to instal 40 gig hd on wb3.9?

You need to find yourself a HD that's not so rigid! lol  Seriously, that's pretty darn big for an Amiga setup. Search this site for help. Installing huge HD's have been discussed to death here. IDEfix97 was discussed in a thread quite recently.

Here's a linky or two for you:

...and from there, try typing the words 'large hard drive' or 'partitioning hard drive', 'installing hard drive', etc. in the search field. The answers are out there.

Sorry bro... assumed it would have still been good    

Have you installed IDEfix yet?

What happens when you select 'Partition Drive' instead of trying to install it?

Are there *any* DH0???, etc. Icons on the Workbench at all?

Yeah, we might have missed something obvious here... but I am not positive about how this would be interpreted. What I mean is, if you didn't have the proper device mounted, I'm guessing HDToolBox would not have brought the drive up to be installed. But, out of curiosity, what model computer are you trying this on and what's your ribbon cable hooked to? Hooked directly to the computer or do you have a card such as a GVP or A2091 Hardcard?

And you're sure it's terminated properly? Set to last device?

A.org really should have a separate "Thomas" section help desk. lol
