Well I managed to dig up a set of 2.05 WB disks (of which I didn't think I had) and can't work out how to install it on one of my 2.1GB drves. It reads it ok but I can get the partition to appear on the Workbench to format. I tried to follow the A1200 method as close as possible but no luck. Are there any tutorials?

Did you need any patches for that (e.g. patched scsi.device or something)?

@tokyoracer: Did you already partition the drive with HDToolBox or HDInstTool? What is you partition layout?

No, it was "plug and play".  I don't use the entire disk (yet), and all my partitions are <4GB each.

If the partition is smaller than 4GB (which naturally is the case on a 2.1 GB disk), it should work... Was the size correctly shown by HDToolBox?

Not in HDToolBox, but HDInst got it right.

Ok I have tried HDToolbox but it's no good. It's seems fine of the A1200 but on the A600 it turns German and comes up with an error after it loads up, then it quits on "ok". I can't even get it to work on the normal HDToolbox as it seems to work at first glance but doesn't warm re-boot when you save changes and I can't seem to Ctrl, A, A with it aswell. Once it did work (don't know how I managed it) and did come up with partitions but as soon as I asked it to format I got an error "Insert DF0 Disk" or something like that.
It seems Amiga error's often don't help very much at all most of the time. :madashell:
