strange partition beetwen winuae and real a1200

[sink]

hello!

i have a amiga 1200 with a harddrive and 6 partitions on. the 4 firts are ok but for the dh4 and dh5 are strange i can see and access under winuae and real amiga but if i copy something on i can see just under and with i have copieed that. exemple if i copy a demos file or lha under wiinuae, i don't see files under real amiga (it's look like the hardrive empty). i think it's perhaps a problem with filesystem?

ps: sorry for my bad english

Let me guess, drive is bigger than 4G and non-working partitions are in >4G part of drive? And you don't have OS 3.5 or newer?

[sink]

nono each partition are under 2G and os is 3.1 (classic workbench)

[Toni Wilen]

Partition size is irrelevant. Drive size is very important. (Is it over 4G?)

[sink]

oops sorry yep the harddrive is 14G

[Toni Wilen]

Search "check4gb".

Only OS 3.5/3.9 have full 4G support. Another solution is to install IDEFix.

WinUAE's device driver fully supports >4G drives but Amiga's built-in IDE/SCSI scsi.device requires patch that only comes with OS3.5+

i use TD64 : http://siliconsonic.de/t/bin/howto/etd64.htm, and like i say that work with the 4 first partitions

These instructions are for the Buddha IDE controller only. For the A1200's IDE controller you need IDEfix (software) or OS 3.5+.

i have found thi sone but need td64 filesystem
IDE-fix:
Enhance your IDE-port! Faster transfer, faster booting, less CPU use!
No MaxTransfer troubles, set MaxTransfer as big as you like!
TD64 & NSD commands supported, use IDE drives bigger than 4 GIG with your
Amiga (requires FileSystem with TD64 and/or NSD support).

if it's another can u tell me where i can found this one please

[thomas]

Yes, it is the right one. http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/IDEfix97

And yes, it needs FFS-TD64, too. IDEfix replaces the IDE driver so that it supports TD64 commands. The Buddha driver does support TD64 commands on its own. Support for TD64 commands is needed for FFS-TD64 to work.

There is also a free solution using the files from this page: http://os.amigaworld.de/index.php?lang=en&page=37
But those files are old and beta. You need these programs and patches, too:
http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/FFS43.19_patch
http://aminet.net/package/util/sys/patchstrip
http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/LoadModule

The FFS patch does not work, you have to apply it manually.

If you understand german, I've written a guide here: http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/bighdd/

thk for u page thomas, i will testing with your method !

[sink]

oki nothing work with rom 3.0, i will looking on my another 1200 (parent house) if it's a 3.1. and using os 3.5

[thomas]

oki nothing work with rom 3.0

It does work with Kick 3.0. It even works with Kick 2.0. Just the LoadV43Module program refuses to run. But Thor's LoadModule is better anyway. See the links above.

damm i have no see your title page "for workbench 2.0" i will looking again on my amiga before searching a another, thk again
