- Also, in order to get kick 1.3 to load workbench and execute the
- startup-sequence, etc, off of a hard disk, you might have to name one of your
- partitions WB_1.3: (I'm certain this is the way it works for machines
- like mine which have the old softkick/superkickstart ROMs, a major
- feature IMHO, hope C= releases new revs on disk as well as ROM)
-
- By the way, does anybody know if I can rename an HD partition without
- losing the data on it (or other partitions of the same disk for that
- matter)? The HDToolBox information in the 2.04 manual seems to imply
- that I can't.
-
- I have a half-full partition I wouldn't mind setting up for a 1.3 boot
- partition (for some old games compatibility), if I could do it without
- trashing the data already on the disk.
