I have followed as closley as I can to the guide, but the same thing happens when I attempt to format another partition bigger than 500mb, it just hangs there with DH1:Busy all the time. The 500mb partition looked like it formatted ok using the Shell command.

What gives?

Use this to setup the CF instead of HDToolbox:

That might do it, at least it did for me with 2 of my 8GB CF's.

Hi Buzzfuzz

thanks for the link. I have got as far ,using that program, to loading in the new filesystem SFS, but it does not show up in select file system cycle box. No referance to SFS\00 at all anywhere.

I have given up on the origional plan. Now set up with <500mb partition for OS3.9, then split the drive up into 1.8GB partitions.
Seem OK but Sysinfo reports it is slower than the old hard disk, however I could swear it's a bit quicker on loading up.
I have a seperate question now, but I will start a new thread for that if I can't find the answer here.
