Hi

I useing Workbench 2.05 and the HDtool will partitionit it into 2 four GB partitions. However, it will not format it, throught HDtools or the Workbench.


The scsi.device from kickstart 2.05 (V37.300) won't access the drive above the 4GB barrier. Sorry for you. AND its even worse. You can't make a pattiton bigger than 2GB.

Failing to do so will result in overwriting of the begining of the drive -> destroying the rdb etc.

I suggest, that you make a 500MB Parttiton for system, a 2GB
for apps etc. and a 1.4GB for gamming and temp stuff.

Installing a turboboard, installing Kickrom 3.1 and using OS3.5 or 3.9 will cure the 4GB barrier. But the boot-parttion still has to be below the 2 GB limit.

Sorry for all the typos, but is 1.37 am here in Switzerland. I think I have to take a handful of sleep.
