HD on A1200 reporting wrong size
I got a A1200 with 5gig HD from a friend of mine who was computer illiterate..
The IDE/SCSI cable with it was broken, so I brought a new one and after much trouble, managed to get the computer to reconise it. On using the workbench HD setup, it reports that the drive has a total of 20meg instead of 5 gigs. I know Kickstart 3.0 can't handle that much on it's own so it would need to be partitianed.. Any ideas? Thanks |

You could use HDInstallTools to setup drive as that supports larger drives. Im also sure a simple search here would have answered your question.

Actually, I have no idea on installing Amiga HDs...
It's showing 20meg, even after changing the drive size on setup... Thanks.. |

Also grab fixHDsize from Aminet, it will force a correct read even using (not) good and old HDToolBox.
