I tried out HDBOOT using the following procedure:

(1) I created a \AUTO folder on drive C of my hard disk.
(2) I copied AHDI.PRG into this folder.
(3) I ran HDB and "installed" the boot sector on drive C.

When the system was rebooted (cold or warm) it still booted off of the floppy.
Running AHD again indicated that the boot sector was still installed on drive C.

I have a 1040ST and an Atari SH-204. 

Is there a difference between GEMBOOT and the HDBOOT that was sent out
recently?
