Well I got everything working. Like I said in a previous post it wasn't a problem with Genesis or Poseidon because I found out later when I ran whdload from my system partition it ran fine. The issue was my FastATA drive kept corrupting itself no matter what I did. I finally made it work, even though the FastATAPrefs still state the drive and driver are in split mode (

). I first had to prep the drive in split mode, installing every 4 gig chunk, then restart, prep the drive in nosplit mode with one 2 gig FFS partition and one with the remainder as SFS2. Then I restarted, formatted the 2 new partitions and everything worked as it should, even though as I said the FastATA prefs are still reporting the drive and driver in split mode. It's such a shame that Elbox, one of the few remaining Amiga hardware manufacturers is so disorganized and backwards...
