320 gig usb drive problem

source · 02 July 2010, 22:14

I am trying to partiton a 320 gig usb drive verbtim clon. When i go to hdtoolbox and install the drive, it registers as 14.5 gig. How do you change the sectorsand blocks per cylinder to address the true size of the drive.

Use Check8Gb from Aminet. Then run the HD tools.

It is called Check4GB and it is of no help for this problem.

Save it as 14.5 gig and run FixHDDSize from Aminet.

So you really want to wait for ages just to produce hot air and nothing else ?

Why don't you use quick format ? It's finished almost instantly.

I have been having problems with an 060 card that I installed. It crashes with extended drive access so the full format allows me to see the errors with trident.
