Re: Some (Other) IIgs questions

All you need is the utility that comes with the dirve.  Boot GS/OS (I 
use the system disk.)  Pop the utility disk in and run the formatting 
utility.  Partition the drive in the way that suites you.  Place the 
boot disk back in and exit the program, saving the partitions.

When GS/OS comes back up, format the drives as ProDOS (or HFS).

To boot ProDOS, drop a copy of ProDOS on the first partition.  (The file 
is called P8 on the GS/OS disk and will need to be renamed ProDOS in 
order to boot the hard drive under ProDOS.)

To make it boot GS/OS, boot on the GS/OS install disk and install it on 
the first partition.

Thankx,
Ed
