Looks good to me, great idea. I'm glad you didn't add "eye candy" stuff. Let users pick and choose that stuff out.

I feel bad now cause I just upgraded my A3000D to 3.9 for big HD support. Looks like I might have to throw this puppy in reverse!

It installed great.

I can not get it to make a partition bigger than 4Gig though. The new HDTool box works great, shows drive geometry perfect. But when I go to format it, it only says it's going to format a 3,700-ish MB capacity.

I have never used:
FastFileSystem 44.5 patches NSD64 devices to support drives bigger than 4GB (upto 8GB)

Maybe my drive doesn't support this "NSD64 devices" ?


Any thing more I should know? My HD is a real SCSI drive in an A3000, 18Gigs.

@XDelusion
It is a bug.
Simple fix is to issue on a CLI window the following command:

protect SYS:#? +rwe ALL

That should fix it. (BTW version 1.01 is available which fixes this issue).

@TheGoose
I believe it is just a problem of the format command that does not support >4GB drives (as everything else is ready for >4GB HDDs).
I suggest as a temporary fix to use this:
http://aminet.net/disk/misc/Format64.lha

It should work now.

Thank you again Gulliver, think I'm gonna be much happier with this setup on my A3000, with some Awesome icons Cammy should hand over! It will be really cool, tidy.

I ended up copying over OS3.5 FFS to my setup. The partitions report correctly if I look at the 'drive information' on the icon.

Still the odd thing is that the window, the title bar, will not display the correct size / free size, it appears to have some max number about 3gig.

I think this is somehow unrelated to the HD setup, a OS bug, some .library bug.
