What do you mean by you only got 7.2 GB? What size did you specify for the partition? What filesystem did you use, what blocksize? I think SFS has a limitation for 128 GB per partition on 512 byte blocks, but I might be wrong there.
Ok, well,...
I am using OS 3.9.
I opened HDToolBox.
I selected the usbscsi.device.
I selected the WD160GB drive (149GB).
(I know that it will come up as 149GB since all of the hard drive producers are liars about their drive sizes nowadays.)
I select INSTALL and it reads the configuration as a 7.2GB drive.
I select partition and it creates 7 partitions.
I reselect for 1 partition.
It creates one 7.2GB partition.
The partitioning tool believes the drive to be a 7.2GB drive based on the info read by the READ CONFIGURATION button.
Oh, and yes, I did a QUICK format only, but it got an error.
My understanding is that OS 3.9 breaks the 4GB barrier.
Somehow it cannot read the dimensions of the drive correctly.
I am using the FastFileSystem that came with OS 3.9.
What is SFS?
Is this a safe filesystem to use?
Don't want to end up with trashed files.
I was planning on making this my boot drive.
I will try to get that info to you soon.
I am just now plugging in the usb netgear ethernet card to get online with Miami.
