- HDBOOT.ARC ccontains the following files:
-
-
- INSTALL.DOC : this file ...
- INSTALL.PRG : The instalation program
- INSTALL.RSC : The resource file
- ================================================================
-
- With these programmms you will be able to make your ST bootable
- from the harddisk. It will also load any acccesoires and auto files from the
- harddisk, so no more floppy needed!
-
-
- How to install the program
- ===========================
-
- Boot the hardisk the normal way.
-
- Make sure that you make a backup copy of the harddisk before you start
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- start the program HDBOOT.PRG and follow the instructions. The bootsector
- will be installed on your harddisk. However watch out, if you have
- no free partition space on your HD, in which case the programm wil
- give an error message ,you will need to partition your harddisk again.
- I have a 10-10MB partition and it works fine!

-
- How to partition for HDBOOT
- ============================
-
- After having made a complete backup of your HD, startup the
- programm HDX.PRG (which should be on the floppy which you recieved with
- your harddisk.
- Goto the menu 'Edit partition Parameters' and manipulate the partitions
- in such a way that you have 0.3MB left over. The way to do this is as follows:
-
-
- Revise the partition in wich the xx.3 mb is to "unused." Then enlarge it again
- untill there is , at the box which says 'Left' 0.3mb left. Than install this
- partition onto your harddisk.
-
- On the harddisk, there is now 0.3MB available for the boot sector.
-
-
- Have fun with it, and make sure that you make that backup!!!
- I have had it working for two months now, and no problems.
- I am also working on a version which makes it possible to change
- the driver so that when a new HDriver arrives, you can use this.
- It is wise anyway to install your HDdriver in the auto file, so that
- your HD will start up the latest driver that you have. This gives NO
- problems.
