   Hello, I have used Rodime Drivers before to give me disk partitions which is
   even recognisable when booting from any floppy with System without having to
   contain a particular INIT to find them. Now that I am using a Quantum, are
   there any disk partitioning software that does this? I don't like the SUM II
   option where you require a separate INIT to find these partitions. I don't
   want dressed up folders pretending to be partitions. I want something that
   provides the partition as a separate entity to the core, e.g. if I partition
   an 80meg HD to two 40meg partitions then the sum of disk space used and disk
   space left should only be 40megs on either one but not 80meg in one of them.
   I also would like to be able to get Startup Device to recognise I have two
   HDs in this example and can choose which one to boot from.


Silverlining will do this.  The Init/DA which come with it, (which
actually are NOT related to each other) are (for the Init) to
force-mount any removable drive cartridges which are loaded, and (for
the DA) to mount any drive partitions which have been dismounted, or
which were not set to mount at boot time.

Silverlining creates true SCSI partitions, which do fool the hard
drive into thinking it is two or more drives.  I use it to have
roughly 4 partitions, a Data partition, an Applications partition, and
two system partitions (backup is everything)! and have a floppy disk I
use to re-arrange disk space & to 'turn on' the second system
partition in case of a crash...
