| If you are using AROS, the CF card won't show unless you add ATA.DEVICE after launching HDToolBox. It uses SCSI.DEVICE by default, which can't won't see it. Here's one person's suggestion on how to get access to the remainder of the data on the CF card: The CF card with the bootable AROS image has two partitions, System: and Work:. These take up around 200MB, which means you’ve got a lot of unused space on the CF card. To access it, you should get the fixhddsize tool. UnLHA it, run it, enter ata.device as your device, and let it fix things for you. Now launch System:Tools/HDToolBox. And click “Add Entry”. In the Devices dialog, enter ata.device. Now click that device in the “Changed Name” list, then double-click on the entry that appears (for me, it’s SDCFXS-0 32G...). You’ll see two entries, UDH0: (that’s your System: partition) and UDH1: (Work:). Add an entry here, selecting the unused space. When you’ve done that, save changes, close HDToolBox, and reboot. You’ll see your new drive appear in Workbench, as something like UDH2:NDOS. Right click that, choose Format, then Quick Format. .. I'm not 100% certain about that, as my understanding is that FFS (FastFileSystem) has issues with drives > 8g and volumes > 4Gb, so you may need to switch the file system on the new partition to SFS (SmartFileSystem) or PFS .. I believe AROS ships with the PFS file system handler (in devs:). Hope that helps.
