Hate to think how many hours into this, but getting very close.  

I've managed to copy the SimStation files to a new disk and get it to boot.  The only problem is I cannot seem to get the Work1 and Work2 partitions to show up.  The startup-sequence is working and calling for them, but they just don't show.

Is this a mountlist issue or what?  I made 3 2gb partitions on the disk, Workbench, Work1, and Work2.  They all show fine in WinUAE, but the A4000 doesn't mount or see them.  

Another thing I found out (amongst many) is that the drive wasn't seen at all until I put a jumper in to limit it to 32gb (it is an 80).  Small things...

Any thoughts?  Sooooooooooo close!

Unless you have certain patches installed, or are running 0s3.9 I believe you are suffering because the miggy will not reconise anythin over 4GB.  so the partions will not be visible.

Winuae has built in support for bigger drives

If you're using AmigaOS3.1 and your HD is bigger than 4Gb you need either IDEFix, NSDPatch, or AmigaOS3.5/3.9
Never tried NSDPatch myself, generaly IDEFix is what most people use with 3.1.

Are we talking TOTAL or per partition?  All three partitions are 2gb.

Total.
And even after installing above mentioned software, boot partition should allways be less than 4gb, 2gb to be safe IIRC.
