Which version of Pascal are you running?  I believe only 1.2 and 1.3
have support for hard drives.  When I installed 1.3 on my CFFA, it
took the entire device, but only used something like 8MB.  It didn't
have an option for partitioning the hard drive, so I just dedicated a
small CF card to it.  Pascal doesn't use directories, so a real big
drive doesn't make sense anyway.
