HDT is a good friend but a little weird at times

Also, you might need the newest version of SetPatch.  My 19Gb HD only sees the first 2 partitions (below the 4Gb) if SetPatch from OS3.9 isn't running.

I use SFS for most of my drives, but I have WorkBench and 2 other partitions still on FFS (both above and below the 4Gb limit) and everything works ok as long as I have setpatch running.

SFS is on Aminet - make sure you get all the extra files aswell!

I don't know if SetPatch is freely avaliable though.

Ah right, nicely explained, thanks :-D

No, I didn't mean that vanilla OS3.9 should updated. I meant that OS3.9 installation successfully updates the filesystem... you haven't disabled any romupdates or something like that which could affect to it.

IIRC, the first versions of the OS3.9 CD does not copy the newest version of FFS to your OS3.9 partition, you have to do that manually (I think it's in the Emergency-Boot drawer).

If it's the 2nd version of the CD, it does copy it over.
