    I made 3 partitions like discribed in the dual boot instructions manual.
    Now I would like to replace the MorphOS SFS partition by 3 different SFS
    partitions. Is this possible or do I have to reinstall dual boot?
    Thanks for answers, Drayman

    Remove the SFS partition and add the new ones in its place.

    "

    In a cave: How do you remove the partition?
    Use the tool in MorphOS 2.4?
    What is in SFS partition? It is DH1: and was named "System" in the installation process.
    If you remove this partition wouldn't affect MorsphOS 2.4 :-?

    TIA

    Obviously you do that on MorphOS with the HDConfig tool. You will have to reinstall MorphOS afterwards. It is not possible to resize SFS partitions.

    AFAIK, shrinking is possible.

    All went ok. Resize worked and MacOSX starts up too.
    What about the blocksize? Any chance to get other than 512?
    Is it limited by the MAC partition table?
    Thanks, Drayman
