@blobrana: don't talk mud. *You* are the one who has to read the previous posts. Lolof said, he has already created partitions, so the HDD *is* recognised. No sight of the slow-spin-up problem here.
@lolof: as the others have told you, with Kick 3.1 you are not able to use more than the first 4GB of the drive. So create some small partitions (all together less than 4GB) and see if it works.
Then you can download and install the required patches and partition the other 6GB of the drive.
You actually need two patches: one updated IDE driver and one updated file system.
IDE driver could be IDEfix, filesystem can be TD64 patch for FFS or a third party file system like SFS or PFS3.
If you consider upgrading to OS3.5 or 3.9, both come with all the required patches.
Bye,
Thomas
