Large HDD capacity formatting woes in WinUAE (fitzsteve)
I've been following the instructions and guide in this YouTube video by fitzsteve on Tutorial - Large Disk Support for Amiga OS (Workbench), to format a 32 GB micro SD card that I want to use as storage in en externally mounted SCSI2SD micro SD adapter. YouTube link
[ Show youtube player ]
I have a primary or internal 16 GB card in a SCSI2SD, as my main HDD unit, configured with WB3.9. It is working very well and stable. Just like in the tutorial, I'm using Classic WB 3.9 in WinUAE and the PFS3aio-handler. I can partition the card into 4 partitions of approx. 8 GB each, non-bootable (for storage only) but when I tried to format the partitions I can only format the first 2, before start getting a NoDOS device message. What am I missing? Or what is missing in the instructions that I can't get the same result? |

I don't watch videos, takes far too long -> more information needed.
Do you get same problem if you use 32G hardfile? (use dynamic hardfile to keep disk space usage small). Less variables, if there is some odd hardware incompatibility. Does formatting works if you use UAE controller instead of IDE? (if not, there is something more seriously wrong) What does "version full scsi.device" return? Did you use quick format? (always use quick format!) |

After partitioning (no need to format anything), boot with logging enabled and attach winuaelog.txt (logging enable checkbox is in Paths panel).
UAE controller logs full partition details during mounting. |
