More on Hard Drive



Many thanks to those who suggested ways to execute copy-protected IIe
programs from floppys on an HD-equipped machine.  Here's another
question.

The machine is an enhanced  IIe with a Quality Computers IDE drive (40
Mbytes) which is partitioned into /HD1 and /HD2.  PRODOS is installed on
/HD1.  The FILER cannot find both partitions at the same time.  It sees
only one or the other.  If it sees /HD1, I can coax it into recognizing
/HD2 in one way or another, but when I list volumes on line, it then
sees only /HD2.  Is there something wrong with the format?  I  don't
have anything (useful) on HD2 and have backed up most everything on
HD1.  Should  I "make" a partition named HD2 in slot #7/drive #2?  Will
this re-format the entire drive?

Finally, in order to consume less net bandwidth, what pubs should I
be reading? 

Thanks,
