This is important if use HDToolbox please continue to use only HDtoolbox. If you like your data don't ever mix HD partitioning software otherwise you will be putting your data at risk in a very subtle but deadly way. Example ever notice if you use say HDinstools to change a partition on a Hard drive. When you go back to HDtoolbox it will say changed.  If you save in HDtoolbox go back to HDinstools it will say changed. What is happening is that the programs are writing the partition table differently. You will not experience any problems until you get to that magic spot were what is formatted on the drive is different from what is in the RDB. Everything will work just fine until you reboot your machine. Then all hell will break loose and say farewell to your data on one or more partitions. On a large Hard Drive this could takes years until you fill in that spot. So most Amiga users never realize what took out their data.
