Trouble with HDF Files
Basically I would like some help with this problem I am getting after rebooting in KS1.3 with a 50MB HDF file - I formatted it, Copied the KS1.3 content to it (including the L/Disk-Validator file) and this pops up when it reboots all the time, Cannot seem to get rid of it:
Error validating disk Key 51226 checksum error Disk structure corrupt Use Diskdoctor to correct it I have tried formatting a new HDF under both KS1.3 and KS3.1 and whenever I try and use it under KS1.3 it always pops up with that requester Also as far as Disk Doctor goes, it never seems to work for me either, unless someone can suggest another tool I can try Many Thanks! |

Have you run a virus checker? Maybe you got hit by a Saddam virus. It makes the disk invalid so that it runs Lisk-Validator. That's a Virus that only affects 1.X OS.
Search amr.abime.net for "Virus Checker" or "VirusChecker" and run it off the coverdisk. |

Did you format it as FFS? Too large OFS filesystem will self-destruct.

Don't forget if you partitioning for FFS for 1.3 to use DOS\1 (44 4f 53 01).

I will certainly give it a try, As most of you know I run a Blog, and the reason I kinda wanted 1 HDF now (since I have found an "OS Detector" tool, which can then load up the required Games Menu based on the OS version
I actually thought FFS was an OS2/3 thing, As the HDF was freshly formatted I cannot see it being a virus somehow I will just try using FFS and pray it will work in KS1.3 BTW does anyone know the absolute maximum HDD that KS1.3 and KS2/3 will read, I have been told around the 1GB size |

For more information you should read this: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=61666 The current absolute maximum is 2 TB (2^32 sectors of 512 bytes each). Nobody has yet published how AmigaOS behaves with advanced format drives. Of course you need drivers and file systems to exploit this size. |
