In that case, HDDRIVER /had/ found the partition, otherwise the drive letter wouldn't have been accessible for Thing (i.e. it would just have "beeped"). > 4) I run mke2fs and it reported some error (I forgot > which, it has been over 6 months since) which has > prevented me from making it into ext2. What about trying again, this time with a detailed report (or did you send one back then, at least to Frank?) Or did you already completely re-partition the drive? > Why doesn't the kernel report that, since it is what increases > the partition limit? That's a point Uwe and I already tried to convince Frank of, but he says he doesn't like that, and he has some good arguments. But anyway, this will just stop some direct-access software from working (like FAT checkers), but MiNT itself of course doesn't need it to access large TOS/DOS partitions.
