Try the attached.

It's failing to validate the FileCore area because it has a boot DiscRec that doesn't quite comply with the FileCore documentation. I've turned some of the validation off for Simtec drives.

That disc was formatted with the exact same version of IDETool as the test one in the other machine (with the two 50MB partitions).

This latest iteration is slightly improved but still got the capacity wrong:

There's a subtle difference in the Boot DiscRec between the test drive with the two 50MB partitions and the 32GB drive:

The word I've highlighted at 38 is 0, which matches the FileCore documentation as its a reserved word. The word after should only contain the checksum byte @ 3F (18) as 3C/3D/3E define the non-ADFS partition start cylinder.

On the 32GB however..

..it has the partition size at 38. I'm not sure why they're different if you used the same !IDEtool on both drives. I'm also wondering if the value at 38 is the partition size I should be using if its set.

Try the attached. I've removed the check for non-ADFS partitions on Simtec to avoid a potential misdetection and rewritten the partition trawler to support OS partitions >2GB.

Maybe it only gets set for things > 512MB or something like that? This is the only machine we've tried that has a 3.5+-only partition size on Simtec. I'll try some bigger partitions on the "two 50MB partitions" machine.

Anyway, today's version of version 0.90 is no improvement. Zero MB now on Unipod?

Definite regression with today's version of version 0.90. I'd created two more partitions on the test machine, which looked ok with yesterday's build...

But today's version ... uh oh ... sizes all zero....

(The unallocated space is correct BTW)

In my rewrite I managed to delete the line that sets the partition size.

Looks good on both Unipod and test Simtec podule machine. I added a 5th partition - seems fine.

Got there in the end. I'll add formatting/partitioning on Simtec next, then window resizing.

Could you upload a debug log from the attached against a Simtec please.

Having tried formatting partitions on my HCCS, there's more to their partition detection than simply checking for "andy" in the boot block. I need to compare a Simtec against an HCCS to see what they're putting at 1B4-1BC, so have added some additional debug output.
