Wrong, just enter: 0x1fe00
it will put the zero's in the right place.

It's just like decimal notation but displayed in hexadecimal,
adding a zero to the end is like adding a zero to the
number 8, it becomes 80, but 08 is still 8...

Firstly, go into HDToolbox again, go into "Change" & fix
the Maxtransfer & while you are there, check to see if you
have "Auto mount this partition" ticked..

If not, the partition will not appear.

Also, a trap for young players is to ensure you do NOT have
duplicate device names on ANY other drive or partition,
otherwise one of them wont show up...

Then after a reboot, you should get the icons up,
you must format the new ones first, use the menu on WB,
Use the QUICK option.
