I used HD Toolbox in the begining but I changed to the HD install Tool 6.9
You should never do this. HDInstTool might look better than HDToolbox but has one serious bug which makes it unable to handle harddrives formerly edited by HDToolbox. Only use HDInstTool on new harddrives and only if you are sure that you will never use another program.
I can see the drive no problem and create the partitions. When I reboot, I don't see the drives.
Run HDToolbox, click on the first harddrive (the one which was already there, not the new one) and if a requester opens telling you that drives have been added or removed, let it save the changes.
I was able to format only 2 partitions and I get an error that the 3rd partition is not validated.
I doubt that HDInstTool is able to format a partition with scsi.device 43. They were made by different manufacturers which don't like each other. Use Workbench to format the partitions. And always use quick format !!
The only way I am able to see the first 2 partitions after reboot is to use the mounter tool.
See above. The first (previously the only) HDD has the "last drive" flag on which means that partitions of other drives on the same controller are not mounted.
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
43.43 is fine for drives up to 128 GB. No patch needed.
