Easy question - mountlist for partition.

[A4000_Mad]

To my knowledge HDToolBox takes care of everything. I've never noticed mountlists for the partitions of hard drives myself (only used them for Zip disks, Jaz disks Compact Flash cards and CDroms etc)

If the problem is that your hard drive has lost its partition information, you might be able to recover it with some program.

I lost mine and was saved by a great program by Thomas :-) :pint:

NOTE:- THIS WAS FOR A PFS3 (Perfect File System 3) HARD DRIVE THOUGH!!

Exactly . But somewher thay sould be , or I suppose to create them??

DH0: Device = scsi.device
Handler = L:FastfileSystem
Unit = 0
Aces = 1
Blockspertrack = 512
Interleave = 1
Lowcyl = x  
Highcyl = y
Buffers = 15
Buffmemtype = 0 (here I would like to change it form 0 to 5)

Just make it, check the low and high cylinder in HDToolbox and copy to Devs:?
 :crazy:

Actually, I recently learned that you can add a FAT formatted hard drive to your Amiga and use Giggledisk to create a mountlist for it.

To jog my brain cell I just used Giggledisk to create a mountlist for a 2GB Jaz disk in RAM by typing:-

Giggledisk oktagon.device 5 TO RAM:

(The 2GB Jaz drive is on an Oktagon SCSI card so it's 'oktagon.device' and its Unit number is 5)

Prehaps that'll be of some help mate :-)

Small question . Where I can find a mountlists for a particular partition?

 :-o I used Giggledisk on my 8.4GB IDE hard drive thinking it would just see one device, get confused, trash my hard drive, crash the computer or report nothing. However, it put mountlists for all 7 partitions in RAM:

Well you did ask the question :-D  :-D  :-D

I see that BufMemType you mentioned is in there with mine set to 0 :inquisitive:

I just realized, that "mounting" drivers in Amiga is just "copying" them from Devs: to Storage: (or somewhere!).

Nope! The Amiga sure ain't boring when there are questions like yours coming at us to keep us busy :-D

You meant to say "copying" the mountlist from Workbench:Storage/DOSDrivers to Workbench:Devs/DOSDrivers of course ;-)

Hope you'll let us know what Piru or Astral have to say about changing the BufMemType in that other thread :inquisitive:
