Just switch to PFS3ds or PFS3-AIO and with some luck things will suddenly work. Just remember to use "quick format" when formatting the partitions.

I haven't yet played with PFS3AIO, so I'm not sure if there's an option to force the Direct SCSI option in PFS3AIO which is needed to access more than 4GB, I'm sure the docs will mention how to do it.

I've always used HDInsttools rather than HDToolbox for drives larger than 4GB and always use the quick format option as Bamiga2002 has pointed out. I've also found that it's best to keep your boot partition smaller than 1GB otherwise it doesn't always boot.

Cheers
PFS3AIO should sniff the right access mode automatically, so no need to worry. Also HDInstTools is good on WB1.3, but with WB2.0 and up use HDToolBox. HDInstTools often gives wrong values.
