Max hard drive size?

[KatManDEW]

I jumped through all kinds of hoops two years ago and I can't get my A2000 or A1200 to use more than 4 gig. My A2000 uses a GVP 040 with SCSI, and my A1200 uses IDE.

You have to manually enter meaningful cylinders, sectors per track, tracks per cylinder, and sectors per cylinder numbers into HDToolBox yourself most of the time.

Can you give me some quick tips on that? I have a 50 gig SCSI drive in my A2000 and a 20 gig IDE drive in my A1200.

I would be happy if I can get the 40 or 80 or 160Gb to work fully!!!

Same here...

What I did with OS 3.9: Installed. Put 9Gig, 18gig and 36 Gig HDs in. Used them, using FFS. No problems. Ever.

Did you manually enter the partition information?

I dug out my A1200 last night and I forgot that I did get one partition working above 4 gig on it, but I was still unable to use more than about 12 gig on a 20 gig drive. I couldn't make that last partition any larger, and I couldn't add any partitions after the last one. But I have yet to try manually entering partition information.

It's my A2000 with 50 gig SCSI drive that really frustrates me. I can't get it to use more than 4 gig in any way shape or form. But again, I have yet to try manually entering partition information.
