Howdy:

I have a A3000 come with 50MB hard drive in which 4MB are partitioned for
WB-2.0 and 2MB partitioned for WB-1.3 and remaining 41MB are left as
work:

I was try to cut work: into two and name some other name.  I used the
HDTool.  There is option for HD partition.  After I select the work:
and narrow its space into 20MB and select the free space and name
it test:.  The program resquest a reboot --fine.  After reboot, two
partition appear with strange name as WORK:NDOS and TEST:??? (some
junk charactar).  I was try to use Icom rename option to rename them
after rename they disappear for a moment and reappear with the old
name.  I tried only narrow the work: partition it come back with the
same odd.  I click it WB response No tools related to this partition.
It only allow me to extend the full remaining space for work:

What should I do?

By the way, there is some confusion as I read amiga manual.  what is
difference between work bench and AmigaShell and AmigaDOS?  It seems
to me they all accept amigaDOS command and  workbench command!

My machine comes with a disk called KickStart.  I check the index on
the manual there is no such entry for it.  What does it do?  How
can I use it?  The manual only said to use workbench disk to reboot
the machine.

I will really appreciate if you can help me out.
