 HELLO COMMODORE!! ARE YOU THERE??

 I just bought a A3000. I installed a 100 meg drive. Under 2.0 everything
works great, BUT, if I try to boot 1.3 from the hard drive, after loading
workbench, I get a  "NOT A DOS DISK" requestor.

 Under 2.0, all my partitions work fine. OS1.3 does not accept any of them
(there are 3). My 1.3 partition is set up EXACTLY like the one that came
on the 50-meg quantum. If I run 'info', my partitions come up as validating,
and just sit there forever (until reboot) (I run ingo from DF0: at this point).

 The quantum brings up 1.3 just fine. I have tried reformatting under 1.3 also.
I used a sector editor to check if "DOS" was in sector zero (it was).
I can't find any difference between the way the two drives are set up ( I
even used the same size partition for 1.3).

 What could cause @.0 to accept partitions, and then have 1.3 reject them?
BTW,  fastfilesystem IS in the 1.3 L directory. All partitions are FFS, just
like the quatum. What am I missing??

 Puhlease HELP!
