Possibly idefix cannot be used with big drives


You *need* IDEfix to use big drives. If it does not work with IDEfix, then your setup was dangerously wrong before.

Please run Check4GB and post its output here (once with and once without IDEfix).

sys disk is 200gb


You cannot use more than 128 GB anyway, no matter which software you use.

Elbox' IDE'99 driver is the only one with (working) LBA48 support AFAIK.

I doubt that the IDEfix software works on OS4. It's a hack after all. But OS4 supports most 4-way adapters by itself, you don't need additional software. If it does not work automatically, check your Kicklayout file if there is an inactive entry for IDEfix or something like that and activate it.

And yes, OS4 does support LBA48.

Your SYS drive probably has the "this is the last drive" flag set which prevents the system from searching for other drives. To cure this, run HDToolbox or MediaToolbox and check your SYS drive. It should tell you that drives have been added or removed. Let it save the changes. After that you should no longer need the Mounter program.
