Is this hard drive set up ok for running OS4 in my A4000?

@A4000_Mad: if you use sfs make the block size 512.
at the boot ffs partition, check the long filenames.
i think that 2048 block size it's a waste of disk space in amiga.
(but i'm not a hard disk/filesystem guru  :roll: )

@Thomas: at the first picture, under the filesystem section, it's written: DOS\07

personaly i haven't got any trouble using ffs v51 for os4 boot, and sfs 68k
for all the other partitions, at my 3.9 and 4.0 dual system.

I like PFS3 because the 'pfsdoctor' util has *always* managed to repair the dreaded sight of partitions showing as 'HD1:Uninitialised' without any loss of data.

i don't know how pfs3 works but, 3 years now that i use sfs i never had these kind of nightmares :-)

i am using the 68k version too with amiga os 3.9 and os4.0 classic,
and the morphos version at the pegasos.

Thank you,
Oh! What changes, if any, would I have to make to DH2 so as to be able to put OS3.9 on it?

don't change anything. it's ok.
the whole plan you have in mind is ok, just check if the DH2 is at the first 4gb of the disk, otherwise will not boot.
except if you boot with the emergency of 3.9 and continue working from there :-)
at the end, decide wich partition will boot first and set the proper boot priority.
don't forget to make a swap partition for os4. we will need it when 4.1 come to classic  :pint:
