4+GB size disks

arnljot · Dec 14, 2009

I don't get it. I'm trying to have 4x2GB SFS (v1.279) partitions under WinUAE 1.6.1

This is what I do:

1) Install AmiKit 1.5.0 downloaded from site, using OS3.9 CD as OS source
2a) Do not change AmiKit UAE settings
2b) Change AmiKit UAE settings to include A4k chipset extras and A4k 3.1 ROM
3) Install BB1 and BB2 (BB2 w/ROM Upgrades)
4) Install patches
5) Update AmiKit to latest version with live update to v1.5.9

The 8GB CF card is added as a real HD to WinUAE running with "-disableharddrivesafetycheck" as Administrator.

It's mounted on IDE0 and found by HDToolbox on scsi.device.

I install SFS as SFS/00. It's version 1.279, latest from http://strohmayer.org/sfs/

I use a MaxTransfer of 0x1fe00 and a BlockSize of 521.

I name each partition SD0, SD1, SD2 and SD3.

Each is set to SFS/00 (0x53465300).

Still, when I Quickformat SD0, all is good.

When I format & verify SD3, SD0 is NDOS after a reeboot.

What am I missing here?

In shell version states:
Kickstart 45.57, Workbench 45.3

And version scsi.device states:
scsi.device 43.43

And version c:setpatch
setpatch 44.38

And version "devs:AmigaOS ROM Update"
ROMUpdate 44.57

Okay, check the time. It's late here local time

02:00 am.

It's clearly a "DOH!" moment

What did I do wrong?
I formatted the disk with DirectoryOpus MagellanII v5.82 format tool. It doesn't understad 4+ GB disks!!!

I gleamed the solution from this post (Thomas @ eab.abime.net):
http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=154921&postcount=8

I'll verify it tomo with a format command that supports 4GB+ disk sizes.

arnljot · Dec 14, 2009

Yup, using version sys:system/format

gives:
Format 44.14

It formats the disk correctly, and doesn't corrupt the first 4GB of data on the CF card, horray!

Harrison · Dec 15, 2009

Easy mistake to make. It does state in the SFS notes to use its own format program though.
