You need to click on 'Advanced Options' then 'Change' to view maxtransfer in HDToolbox

Type in the new maxtransfer and press enter when done to save changes.

Remember that "Press enter" part of above post is required or new value is not saved!

i think the setting you are looking for is : 0x1fe000 and press the enter key,not the return key.
and you should be able to save it.you can go back to see if its changed or not before saving it. |

The correct setting is 0x1fe00 (255 times 512 bytes, converted to hexadecimal, preceded by 0x). And you can press Return, Enter or Tab, whichever you prefer. Just make sure that the cursor is active in the text field you want to confirm before you press the key.
The values for Mask and Maxtransfer can be changed without data loss. Be aware that you need to change the settings for each partition. |

thanks for the replies,
But now i've got 2 different settings; roy mentioned 0x1fe000 and thomas mentioned 0x1fe00 . Which one is the one needed? |

If I understand correctly, it's Thomas's solution. You can have leading zeroes (0x000001fe00) but not trailing zeroes (0x1fe0000000). Also Thomas is pretty much an authority on the matter so I'd always believe him :P If this is wrong please clarify, this is just what makes mathematical sense to me, but the fact is that HD Toolbox uses more spaces than what is always said so it would be more helpful if people just write the full value instead of assuming people know about trailing and leading zeroes. Doing a search on the EAB just brings out a swarm of correct and incorrect values. |

Are the whd packages in zip form?
The reason I ask is that some of the names are too long for the Amiga. Try shortening the names on the PC before transferring to the Amiga. |
