- You can do that, yes..
- My preference is to use HDToolbox (or similar) to make an autobooting Hard Disk
- with CrossDosFileSystem. The only side effect is the PH0:NDOS icon on WB, but
- you may be able to get rid of that somehow.
-
- Then use FDisk (PC side) and Format to make a proper PC HD.
-
- It works for me (PC-Task 3.1)...

- Good Luck,
