In MS-DOS, you use FDISK in the same manner as you use HDTOOLBOX on
the Amiga to prep your Hard Drives. then of course you must format
it. If you are leaving some space free on the drive in HDTOOLBOX to
put aside for the PC Partition, jot down the low & high cylinder
values for the area, and use these for your PC partition. If you get
them wrong, you WILL destroy data on your Amiga side. (So back up
first!)
