4.3 gig HD recognised as wrong size

[browny]

Had the same problem !.I was using the HDInstools on WB 3.1 and was telling me I had minus mb of ram, i tried reading the config and all the other methods, tacks, heads ,cylinders,and still the F++ker would not play ball.
Then I pulled an old Version of HDInstools(V4.2.one that i had with the HD upgrade for my old A500,
and bingo it read the config and recognised the 4+gig barrier no probs !.
Might be of some help.
Good luck

@Framiga, sounds good to me, the more partitions the better, who the f**k wants one partition with all the problems it brings .
Having said that if you use the the WB 3.1 HD installer it splits the HD into two partitions, but for some uknown reason they allocate just enough space to install the OS on the primary partition(sorry about the windoze plug!) so that if you should add any software you soon fill the F**ker up!.
What the hell was that all about !.
