Creating Amiga HD's inside PCs

[Braddo]

You need to download updated scsi.device - http://os.amigaworld.de/download.php?id=29

Also you must either upgrade FFS or use SFS. I strongly recommend the latter. SFS is available from http://home.wtal.de/js/

With the new scsi.device and filesystem all of the drive will be usable.

I recommend to download HDInstTools from Aminet, it is better than HDToolBox especially for large drives.

The software comes with documentation. Read it.

If you mean where to put the a300.ld.strip file, wherever you like. L: is a good place.

You must install SFS to RDB using HDInstTools/HDToolBox. Then select SFS to be the partition(s) filesystem and do a Quick Format with WB, partition(s) will be formatted with SFS automatically.

Do make sure you do a quick format as the standard format is not compatible with large drives.

scsi.device is in the kickstart. It is not a file. The a*.ld.strip files are a new version of this which is loaded into RAM to replace the existing version in the kickstart.

HDInstTools does need to be told to use that device, however that should already be set in the tooltypes as it is the default option.

HDToolBox/InstTools often detect the size of drive incorrectly. There is two options:

1) Play around with the CHS settings until you reach the desired size.
