HFS Partition

drive to work with HFS.  Matt Ackeret emailed me the following:

	Ok, to put it simply, I have a Quantum SCSI 105 MB Hard Drive.
Currently it has 4 ProDOS partitions (3 x 32 MB and 1 x 5 MB).  What I
want is to initialise one of the partitions into HFS format and use it
to store my files 'coz I want long filenames and special characters.
	Now, Finder 6.0 initialises the chosen partition without any
problems.  But when I tried copying files into the empty partition,
Finder always hang after about 1 Meg has been copied.
	Recently, I went to Adv.Disk.Util and deleted the 4 partitions,
combining them into a single 105 MB partition to perform a low-level
format.  Then Adv.Disk.Util asked if I want to use the drive with a Mac
(which I believe also means if I want HFS partitions) so I clicked on
Yes.  But I was given the error message that Adv.Disk.Util couldn't load
the HFS Driver.  HFS.FST is inside my FSTS folder and is enabled.
	What I would like to know is: is it because of the Adv.Disk.Util
error message that I can't successfully use a HFS partition on my hard
drive without hanging the Finder?  If yes, then why can't Adv.Disk.Util
load the HFS Driver when my HFS.FST is installed?  Finally, IS THERE ANY
way I can get a proper working HFS partition in my hard drive that can
coexist with the other 3 ProDOS partitions?
	Please, any help on this will be deeply appreciated.  Thanks in
advance.
