Yes. Go into HDToolBox, select your drive, select Partition Drive. Select the unix partition, rename it to "Work." Select Advanced Options so that you can change the filetype to FFS or something else sensible. Save Changes to Drive. Use AmigaDOS format to format Work: and voila. Also make sure you are running a modern version of AmigaDOS. At least 2.04, signified as v37+ from WorkBench's About menu item. If you have a Unix tape and the manuals, you may consider selling them (as long as you are deleting Unix from your HD). I think standalone unix sold for quite a few hundred dollars, though it probably isn't worth that now. Dale Larson – An Amiga Software Engineer with some time on his hands.
