Unfortunately it only reports 7,8GB, CHS 16383/16/63 |
So which filesystems can we use on a very large partition? 112GB and 350gb to be precise. Only sfs2? Does pfs3 aio support partitions as large as these?
|
I believe PFS3AIO limits are the same as PFS3, ie. 104G max size.

I ran into a problem with ACA500 Plus. I've two brand new Sandisk 8GB Ultra CF cards with FAT32 (or without any partition) and trying to install WB3.1 using option F7 and doing the clean WB3.1 install from the booted Workbench, thru HDTools.
It seems HDTools is able to identify the card but shows unknown type. Tried to read the info and it worked fine but (showed the proper manufacturer, id but the wrong size OC) - unfortunately, I'm cannot do anything with them, cannot create a new partition or deleting/partitioning cause always get an install write error on disk block 880 and similar write errors. Do you have any idea, what I'm doing wrong? Both cards are brand new, works fine under PCs well. Even I tried to use one of them in the AUX slot to update the firmware, and flash updater didn't found the file on the FAT32 formatted drive - but it's on the disk... Any help appreciated, thanks. |
Disk block 880 is the root block of a floppy disk, it has nothing to do with the CF card. Most likely your Install3.1 disk is bad. You should keep it write protected anyway. Drag HDToolbox to Ram Disk and run it from there.

Hm. Really strange. I just clicked a few times on the cancel button of this error and I was able to partitioning this flash card. Now I'm seeing all of them, formatting them and started the installation. What is caused this?

HDToolbox tries to save the "drive definitions" file to the disk it was run from. So either run HDToolbox from RAM or change "drive definitions" to "ram:drive definitions" before you save. |

As StingerHU said, the 3.1 install files are in the flash rom of the ACA500 plus. You run the installer from the menu system of the accelerator and it installs 3.1 onto the CF card in the first slot. Floppy disks are not involved at all. http://icomp.de/shop-icomp/en/shop/product/ACA500plus.html The description is there. More information there than on the wiki. |

Remember that the software in flash is still sort of beta. It's still pre 1.0, I think the latest version is 0.89 |

Btw, I put this strange thing to ACA500+ topic - maybe Jens and the other "more-experienced" guys know more. Okay, I was able to partitionize, format and now use this CF with SFS but shouldn't get errors during critical processes, like this one. |
The virtual floppies are stored as compressed images in flash, so they are not mounted directly from flash. Instead, they are extracted to fast mem so each image mounted will consume 880k of memory. Thus the images can safely be written to as much as you want, but any changes will be gone by next reboot.
Did you perhaps have any disk inserted which could have had some virus on it which wrote itself to the virtual install disk? If it is a completely plain config, then it seems odd and perhaps you have some bad memory or other hardware fault. |

Then if you're using the latest ACA500plus menu software, I'd suspect you have some hardware problem.

Very important - when you go to put the CF card in the ACA500 plus, DON'T insert it in the boot slot, put it in the other one. You're not going to be booting from this card, it's just used more as a data disk with the update files on it. You're not going to be booting to Workbench, just going to the ACA500 plus menu that comes up when you turn on the computer. When you go through the menus it will be looking for the files on the non bootable card in the second slot. |
