I bought a new HD not too long ago. Now my partition with demos is too big to be accessed at all after a clean boot to cli. This means that I can only run demos from wb or I have to move them separately to another partition and reboot to watch them.

Does anybody recognize this problem? Almost all modern demos run from wb without problems. But I would like to be able to watch for instance eph demos without problems too.

@dalton:

i'm no expert but isn't that the 4GB limit in Amiga OS? If yes, then you should find some stuff about it on internet. I can also have a look around and ask some people if you want. Or post the question on something like www.amigaworld.net or www.amiga.org.

I use wb3.1 and dopus magellan 2, sfs filesystem (no 4gb limit). blizzard 1260/50/64mb

after clean boot when I try to access a partition it says something like ´not enough memory'

from wb, no problems...this is really strange, maybe dos can't access memory on the turbo board properly?

Does setpatch install a ROM update, though? Or do you skip that bit? Is the hard disk connected to the standard IDE port?

I've tried both the version of setpatch that comes with os3.1 and the latest version from aminet. I run without parameters. No extra hardware or anything, it's a 2.5" disk on standard port.

Oh wait. Are you using OS3.1? In which case you can't see big partitions without some sort of patch. There must be a tool somewhere in your startup-sequence that pathes OS3.1.
