[comp.sys.amiga] Hiding A-Max partition of HD

yamanaka@cv.sony.co.jp (Brian YAMANAKA) (11/16/90)

A while ago people were asking how to hide the A-Max II partition on a
hard drive.  This is for those people who have 2.0 and Commodore's
HDToolkit.  If you change the File System to Reserved the bothersome
A-Max icon will no longer appear under 2.0, but 1.3 will still see it.
A-Max II is still able to find the drive.

Now for something completely different.  Recently I updated my Mac OS
to 6.0.5.  The installation was made from A-Max II started under 2.0 on
my A3000.  When I try to start A-Max II from 1.3 it says that the HD
is unreadable and needs to be reformatted.  All of this happened
before I tried changing the File System for the partition to reserved.
Anyone have any clue to why this happens?  Kind of reminds me of how
I would format my hard disk on my 2500 in 68030 mode and lose it when
I dropped to 68000 mode.

Thanks for any info.

Brian
