Hi guys

I have managed to solve 90% of issues with Sam460ex and OS4.1 update4.

I am happy to have solved my time issue - I type ntp.skynet.be in TimeServer / Time Preferences [Remote tab], tap GetTime and I am now for the first time having online 120% correct time :) I dont know why SAM does not save time to its battery but this one works. I don't care. I guess without internet I will never have correct time, but for now this works :)

Just one basic thing I can not figure out still is - how to set up the second partition visible on WB screen?

AmigaOS: is visible [and is 100 GB] and the rest, 400 GB partition is Work: but can not be visible...

When go to MediaToolbox - I can see Fixed hard Disk, Edit Partitions and I can see

DH0 - Automount, Bootable, FileSystem is: SFS\02 while the
HD1 - is Automount but Filesystem is JXF\04

Any idea how to view HD1: that I can format from WB and start copying / backuping system??

Automount is the thing but you have it on so i dont know why it wont show for you. I mean when you choose autmount and quit, maybe it ask for saveing the changes. And after a cold reboot it should show the drive. There is prefs for hiding partitions to but i dont think thats your problem. workbench:prefs/workbench i think. Not at amiga for the moment.

The block size in MTB for a JXFS partition must be set to 512 or it won't show for formatting.

@sundown

YES!!!! After changing from 1024 to 512 - it appeared after reboot!!!

Thank you VERY VERY VERY MUCH!

As usual - I would never figured out myself. The hardest part was to create partitions [if I remember correctly] and install systems.

Now system seems more or less completed for tweaks :) Now I will see about start re-skinning stuff :)

Actually, only a warm reboot is needed for that.

Best regards,
