:Actually, that's not true. HDToolbox allows you to specify a partition as 
:"not automounting". 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
:

Sounds good!  Where does one get DosInfo?
