ARC.TTP says that all files in the archive are ok. I use hdb version 2.3 with no problems at all. In my opinion this is a better program than atari's hinstall because you can make any partition on the disk bootable, not just the C partition. Like hinstall you can disable harddisk booting by holding down shift control and alternate. Furthermore hdb can be deinstalled quite easily. The only required is a copy of ahdi.prg in the root directory of the disk you wish to boot from (hbd installs a 'read only' disk driver on the bootsector of the boot volume which reads the "real" ahdi ). If you want I can upload it to the net; I've thrown away the docs, since installing is dead easy.
