Setting up an 80Gb hard drive on OS3.9

[Toddles]

Hi all,

I have a Western Digital 80Gb Hard drive that I rescued from an old PC that I have been trying to get going properly on an A4000 Desktop via the motherboard's IDE interface. I'm using PFS3 and its supplied HDToolbox program which says it's an 8Gb drive. I've then added the SCSI direct PFS3 filesystem to the partitions, done a quick format on them and installed WB 3.1, then 3.9 with 3 boing bags, including the ROM updates. The OS 3.9 HDToolbox then sees it as a 80Gb drive but won't let me set it up using any more than 8Gb. Any ideas how to overcome this?

The drive now shows the 80Gb and 0S3.9 let me partition with PFS3 using the full 80Gb. I made a boot partition about 800Mb and split the rest up as three partitions, however after a quick format of them all and a reboot only the boot partition and the first partition (HD0 and HD1) appear as initialized. The other two (HD2 and HD3) are uninitialized and after a quick format they appear initialized again but after further reboots they go back to uninitialized. I then changed HD2 and HD3 to FastFileSystem and they had no problem staying initialized.

What gives?
