A1200 + 3.5in HDD

[Andrew1971]

Hi All
I am struggling to get a 3.5 HDD to work in Winuae what i am doing is setting up a 2.5in HDD it works in Winuae then do the same for a 3.5in HDD and it does not work so a little puzzled.
My aim is to use one of my spare 3.5in 80gig HDD in A1200 then install SFS or PFS which ever one is easier to set up.
The only thing i can think of is what is a 2.5in HDD set as default master/slave/cable select.
So what should a 3.5in HDD be set at master/slave/cable select.
Many Thanks
Andrew

Master or cable select should work.

Also was the drive previously PC partitioned? If so it will mount on the PC and WinUAE won't be able to take control of it. Wipe the partitions from it in Windows disk manager so the whole drive is unformatted, then try again.

How are you powering the 3.5" drive in the A1200?

2.5" drives use a 44pin cable that powers the drive. 3.5" drives use a 40pin cable, and need a separate power cable.

Hi Dave thanks for the reply.
I managed to get it to work at last here's a pic
I got ClassicWB installed using the system zip method i installed it in WinUAE. When i rebooted it i got two error messages can't remember which.
So the put it into A1200 and it worked now got to install SFS hopefully so i can use all the HDD.
The episode continues and i am now using converted PC power supply for A1200 + HDD. and i havent butchered the A520 to make RGB to scart yet !!
and the HDD cable i am using is a 3.5in to 2.5in from amigakit.

Hi All
When trying to format SFS it gives two error's
Work:SFSformat: Unknown command
Work:SFSformat: Failed return code 10
My work folder is
Work SmartFileSystem/L/smartfilesystem
The Command i am using is
Work:SFSformat DRIVE DH1: NAME Storage
Many Thanks

Definitely looks like it can't find the sfsformat command. Are you sure your files are in that location?

Hi Dave
I have just out that i downloaded the wrong SFS file so i now got the right one.
I have managed to get it all running in WinUAE now.
The only problem i have is partition sizes how can i get over 4gig as i would like to have 1 big SFS partition to fill rest of the HDD
So i have DH0 is about 2.5 gig and DH1 would be about 72gig.
Once done i can cram it into the A1200 hammer and crowbar might do it
Many Thanks
Andrew

UPDATE
How do i format SFS on real A1200 because in WinUAE it showed 71gig when i used check 4gb tool. But workbench showed 3.7ish gig 18meg used.
and in real A1200 it showed DH1: NDOS so needs to be formatted. So why does WinUAE see it and real amgia doesnt.

UPDATE 2
Re did the HDD DHO 2.8gig, DH1 33gig, DH2 38gig. Also had to install IDEFix on A1200 before WB saw then as usable.
I use check 4gb to get the HDD sizes. Also WB only sees only few gig on DH1 and DH2 i assume thats wrong i think !!
Hdd wont fit in case so remains outside with HDD cable coming out of the side nearly there
