This option is hidden in the "Change File System" screen in the "Advanced options" part of the "partition drive" section. Don't forget to save the changes to the drive before leaving HDToolbox. But you'll have to create a mountlist in order to mount the A-MAX partition before you run A-MAX. To do this, get a utility like "DosInfo" and run it while the A-MAX partition is still automounted. Add the output to your mountlist and create a script file that mounts the partition like that: mount AMAXWhatever: from devs:name_of_your_mountlist Hope that helps! --Martin >-Joseph Hillenburg -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Martin A.
