- Yes, you must name the 1.3 system disk, WB_1.3, at least with the
- version I have. Futhermore, it must be at SCSI address 6 in order for
- 1.3 to recognize other partitions (like Work:).... I find this
- irritating, but liveable.

- I do it all the time. My WB_1.3 partition does not mount when I boot
- 2.04, but if I change the name of the partition to WB1.3 (no underbar)
- wb2.04 will mount the 1.3 partition when I reboot (no data loss).
- Then I can backup ALL my partitions, including 1.3, on one tape and
- then I change the name of the WB1.3 partition back to WB_1.3 via
- HDToolbox again, to return to normal operations. Have not lost any
- data yet...
