Creating large partitions on WB3.1

[Thomas]

- Update SCSI.device to 45.3 (doable without 3.9);

Where did you get this from ? The latest scsi.device is 43.45. The latest FFS is 45.13. FFS 45.3 is on the OS 3.9 CD. There is no scsi.device 45.3.

- Update to FFS to TD64 compliance;

- Update SCSI.device to 45.3 (doable without 3.9);

If you mean FFS 45.3, then these two are mutually exclusive. They replace each other.

- Update SCSI.device to 45.3 (doable without 3.9);

- Use IDEfix97. Further partitions after those fixes.

If you really mean scsi.device, then these two are mutually exclusive, either. IDEfix replaces scsi.device.

So what you are telling is not correct. You should rethink your tip.

Bye,

Hi Thomas,

Thanks a lot for your help, I followed your instructions and FIXHDDSIZE now detects the HDD size correctly. I even installed SFS.

One other minor problem I am having is with both the HDInstall tool that comes with WB31 and the one on Aminet, they go berserk when I try to add a large partition, I assume they dont expect that sort of size.

Any idea how to fix this, or perhaps if there is another suitable program to do this?

One more thing, after creating a large partition, it wont even let me add another one as it thinks that all the HDD has been used

Any ideas?

UPDATE: I have managed to create large partitions with HDInst (aminet), but when I reboot and use the SFSFormat command, the hard disk size is always smaller than 4gig - I thought SFS fixed this?


Thanks!
