How many partitions? *help*

[Daniele]

Hello,

I have readed several old threads about partitions and format full size.
All seems fine but I don't understand how many partitions I can have.
I have a Western Digital 10 GIG. Formatted changing the File System to SMS and having the 1st partition of 1999 MB and other 3 partition of 1999 MB. Total 8 GB . DH0: , DH1: , DH2: anb DH3:

I am asking if I can have for example:

1st partition of 1,999 MB and

2st partition of 8 GB

is it possible? and How?

Thanks

If you use AmigaOS 3.9 there is no problem. But the best choice is to keep the bootable partition (SYS:) lower than 2 GB, as you did.

So...may I have with OS3.9 or OS4 a boot partition of 2GB and another partition of 8 GB?

Thanks

Yes, why there must be problem? The problem would be if you were using AmigaOS 3.1 for example, because if you want to have 8GB in 3.1 you need tools and some modifications.
