Problem installing a second IDE 15GB drive

[Dragster]

I have FFS V45.9 and SCSI.device 43.x.  From what I have read that is good enough.  I have another 4000 with a 40G running OS3.9 and I have 3 partitions on that without a problem.  Is there a number of the HD partitions you can have mounted at one time?  Is there a command to "validate" the new drive?  I got this drive out of an old windows machine.  The drive is good.

Hi,

If you're running AmigaOS 3.9 with Boing Bag2, you probably need to apply a patch to scsi.device. What version of scsi.device are you using? 43.43? If so, patch it to 43.45 (you can find the patch on aminet), this will solve your problems most likely, and as a recommendation, get rid of FFS and use SFS (it's much better/reliable/faster), you can download it from http://strohmayer.org.

Cheers,

As Thomas said, don't use anything but HDToolbox to install/partiton your hard drives under OS 3.9. As for the patch, you *probably* will need it as there  is a well documented bug with scsi.device version 43.43. Check this thread for more info:
