Do I need to re-format a partition to get it to boot?
« on: July 31, 2007, 12:22:00 PM »
Hi I have a 4GB HD in my 1200, 2 partitions (main and second) both 2GB.

I want to be able to hold both mouse buttone when I boot and choose which partition to boot from.

When I originally set up the drive, I only made DF0 bootable. - so only df0 is listed to choose when I hold both buttons and boot. Since I have gone back into HDTools and clicked to make second drive bootable. This worked so I now get df0 and df1 to choose from.

Are there any problems with this should I have re-formatted.

I don't want to loose or transfer the data I have on df1:

Thanks, Rick.
