I have an atari mega ste with tos 2.05 & 4meg mem. It has an internal Seagate HD
(48 mb, partitioned to 3 logical drives C,D,E) and an atari megafile 60mb hooked
up as an external drive with the id no. being 1.

When cold booting, after the megafile has run up to speed and the activity light
off, the computer ignores the internal drive and only accesses the floppy drive
giving the desktop of drive A, B and the trashcan. If I warmboot at this stage,
the internal drive initializes itself and I've got the desktop with drives

A through to I. I'm using Superboot v8.0, Harlequin II manager and v5.00 of
AHDI. 

Is there a way of cold booting enabling the internal drive to initialize and
have the external drive on line without warm booting?       

Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Carl.
