Setting up the Cyberstorm Ultrawide and a 147Gig HD

[Corrie]

Hi all, well my 147 Gig Seagate U320 drive arrived. I have a 9gig IBM Ultra SCSI HD on the Amiga at the moment. I plugged in the 147gig drive and went into HDTools. It found the drive no probs, then had it broken into lots of 8gig partitions. I got rid of them and made one big partition of 140gig (or whatever it worked out to be exactly).

I then selected the PFS driver under PFS HDTools and then upon exiting it reboots. I expected to get a NDOS icon on my WB, but instead nothing. The drive has simply dissappeared. I have used HDTools on 3.9 - Nothing! I have used PFS HDTools and hit Scan and only my 9gig HD comes up.

My setup is A4000T, Cyberstorm MKIII, 128Mb Ram, OS3.9 , running a 9Gig IBM UltraSCSI HD and the vanished Seagate 147Gig U320 HD.

I was wondering if it had something to do with the large partition, but still I would have thought I could atleast see the HD in the HDTools....

Is there anyway to revert to the factory settings!?!

If anyone has any ideas, I would be much appreciated. I am at a complete loss after changing HD positions all day now, swapping terminators, swapping cables etc. I cannot get the drive to even come up anymore.

Please help if you can, open to suggestions

Have you checked the option in HDToolbox for UWSCSI?

Then try to use PFS3ds 18.5 the last update. (PFS DirectScsi).

Ciao

Yes I have clicked the Wide on the start of HDToolbox. Still nothing comes up. Ahh just thought of a question. Qould I have to have the SCSI ID set somewhere between 8-14 for it to recognise the Ultrawide? I have never used anything more then more Ultra HD on it....

?

ok, i had this when trying to sort out 18Gb drives under 3.5

in the config file for the 3.5/9 rom patch, you have to put in (or edit) an entry to allow large devices on the cyberstorm bus, otherwise you could see the drive initially, but then once you'd put an RDB on it, it wouldn't show. i might be barking up entirely the wrong tree. but it might be of some help. :-D

Thats exactly what has happened mate. It recognized at first no probs, then once I partitioned it other then all the 8gig partitions, it just simply disappeared.

Can you tell me how to do the entry and where to find the config file your talking about please?

Can anyone help here?
