Hi all,

On the hunt for more info on my amiga project !!!!

Got an olde 20gb IDE 3.5 HD from a PC but cant create more than two partitions of 4gb each totalling 8gb. But when i use tool box in O.S 3.5 it can see that its a 20gb drive----well a 18.6gb drive lol ( god only thought that happened in windows lol) How can i format and prep the HD to see the full capacity of the drive. Also could i format an 80gb drive in the same manor. Im sure with everyones help i can get more than 8GB from the drive.

Thanks

Para
