A2000 w/Vector 030 Accelerator

[dwezel]

I am fairly new to the Amiga world and recently purchased an Amiga 2000 with an IVS Vector 030 accelerator that had 32 megs of ram and attached a 120meg SCSI HD / 4x CD-RW.  This system has the 3.1 roms.  I am trying to figure out how to upgrade the HD to a 4gig SCSI I have.   Are there any other Vector accelerator owners out there that might give me a hand?

You should be able to use HDToolBox to prep the new drive.  

Just add the new HD to the SCSI chain (make sure it has a unique ID).  Boot with your existing HD, change or add the HDToolBox tooltype 'SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=IVS_SCSIpro.device' (without quotes, and case sensitive), then run HDToolBox.  You  should then see the new HD, and be able to install and partition it.  Make sure you set a partition as bootable.  Reboot and quick format the new partitions, then copy everything from your old Sys: over to the new boot partition.

Being that the device driver I have is dated back to 1992 can I assume there is a limit of 4gb size or is it even smaller than that?

Ok I need some more help.  I tried what you suggested.  I booted up the computer with the original hard drive and added the second hard drive as SCSI ID1.  I changed the information on the HDtoolbox icon to add device=IVS_SCSIpro.device and made sure this file was in the devs AND Expansions folders.  When I launched the HDtoolbox it says Driver not installed.  How do I install the driver?  I thought copying the ivs_scsivector.device and the ivs_scsipro.device to the devs folder was how I installed them (and rebot of course).  Help!?!?!
