resource.library needs the rest of OS 3.9, too.

Here is an easy to use solution to install OS 3.9 from an ISO file located on the CF card:

http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/Start.zip

Make sure that the ISO file is called AmigaOS3.9.iso and is located in the root directory of the CF card. Then unpack the zip file to the CF card, too.

On the Amiga insert the CF card and double click the Start icon. Now the OS 3.9 icon should appear on the desktop. Run the OS 3.9 installer and create an emergency boot disk. Before you reboot run the Copy_Files script from the CF card. Now you can reboot and the emergency boot disk should load OS 3.9 from the ISO on the CF card.

4 or 5 GB is strange. Without OS 3.9 it should see 7.8 GB and with OS 3.9 it should be able to see the entire drive.

Nevertheless try this: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/fixhddsize

Regarding SFS, you can install it from everywhere. I am sure there is documentation somewhere.

Short version: run HDToolbox, select drive, goto partition drive, add/update, add new, select smartfilesystem file, overtype identifier by SFS dostype (0x53465300 IIRC), click ok, select a partition, click on change and change file system to SFS. Repeat the latter for each partition.
