hi all,

is here anyone with experience of this large harddrives? i just got a 2 tera external harddrive, and it loads with mos 2.7, but can't do anything, as there are some negative numbers of sectors (probably too large hdd?)
and way to play with it?

thanks in advance!

bye, MarK.

I found some problems with hdconfig and my 2TB drive which I mentioned on #morphos a few months back but I didn't make a formal bug report so I don't know whether the relevant developer(s) is aware.

well, i formated my 2 tb harddrive under pc vith ntfs with no problem, this worked fine also with my another 300 gigs external harddrive, which works flawlessly under morphos, but this 2 tb one doesn't with error message everytime, i try to write to it. any sugesstions?

bye, MarK.

I use 1TB external drives (1x1TB and 2x500GB) with MorphOS without problem.

The drive is connected with USB 2.0 and formated with FAT32L.

It's very likely that current 2.x hdconfig can run into problems with 2TB drives because of some overflow problems. Maybe manual insertion of cylinders "could" work. Our MorphOS 3.x tree has some 64bit extended hdconfig which isn't completed yet to avoid such kinda problems but there is the general >2TB OS Mount/Filesystem problem which isn't resolved yet.

well, i have reformated it under mac with FAT, and now it seams to work with no problem... will see, if there would be any overflow problems... hope not...

bye, MarK.
