Use OS 3.1 to boot the Miggy, then use the OS3.9 CD to create a boot disk.  When Yoiu're ready, boot using the OS3.9 disk and CD, it should find the true size of the HD with no problems.

BTW ( 2) OS 3.9 Pre-Install (reboot after) <--What is that?

When installing OS 3.9 for the first time, there is a "Pore-Install" step that must be done before the main installation process.  This pre-install step, I believe, copies newer versions of workbench.library and icon.library files (and maybe some other stuff) onto your system first.  Then it tells you to reboot the computer before continuing with the main install of OS 3.9.


OS3.5 had the same thing.  Although it's possible to install 3.9 on a clean HD, whereas with OS3.5, you had to have 3.1 on it.
