    Hello Folks,

    I would like to delete some of my IDE HardDrive partitions using MOS
    PUP tools in my A1200, and then create some new ones, but i don't know
    what tool i shoud use.

    As you may know, HDToolBox from WB3.9 doesn't works, because it needs
    some libraries that are in the AmigaOSRomUpdate, and SCSIConfig from
    MOS doesn't show my IDE HD.

    Looking at Snoopium logs, seems that the SCSI.device isn't being
    looked at.

    Do someone knows how can i make SCSIConfig look for my IDE drives ?

    UnitControl shows me both, the HD and the CDRW drives though . . .

    Thank you,
    Marcelo.

    Have you tried HDInst-Tool ?
    IMO the best utilitie available for this job.
    You can set the device in the tooltypes.

    Thank you for your reply, Robin.

    I tried HDInst-Tools, but it shows wrong geometry about my harddrive (40GB).

    And to say the truth, I've always thought that HDInst-Tools GUI was unintuitive.

    I was looking for a solution more in the "MorphOS way".

    If you have any other ideas, please let me know.

    Regards,
    Marcelo.

    DEVICE=scsi.device
