HDtoolbox

[yurif74]

First of all hello to all of you!
 
Please i need serious help here..

this is the scenario:
Amiga 600 with 68030 w/o fpu and 32Mb of fast ram
2 megabytes chip ram
8 Gb compact flash as ide drive (with adapter of course)
Workbench 3.1 and Kickstart 3.1

the problem is i can't be able to create two partitions in the way i like.. i use SFS and created the first partition of about 1.5 gb
my intention is to create the second partition with the remaining space (about 6 gb)
problem is if i try to create a large 6 gb partition, hdtoolbox create it but when amiga restart, partition DH1:NDOS never appear..( if i try to format it with sfsformat amiga goes in guru), if i launch hdtoolbox partition dh1 is there! after many tries i found that i can create a dh1 partition but with this condition dh0+dh1 must be 4gb!! the funny thing is that a this point i can create a third dh2 partition of about 3.5 gb partition without problems!!!
i think SFS did not suffer the 4 gb limits or problem about larger partitions...
any clues?
thank you

thank you for your replies, may anyone give me a quick link to a page where i can get pfs3ds?
thank you again

@darrin tried your quick walktrhough but without success (card already formatted in fat 32 the first time i used on amiga)
still show DH0:NDOS but without showing DH1 after using hdtoolbox..

hey pfs helped a lot however can't make partitions bigger than 4gb, so i created 3 partition, at this time it is ok for me, i was more comfortable with a bigger partition but it's ok anyway
thank you again
