This strikes me as bad. I assume UNI/01 to be a unix type file system, I dunno
why that'd be available.
Step 2 *SHOULD* have been (depending on how much HDToolBox has changed) to go
to the add/update filesystem part and add SFS, and then SFS should have been
available as an option in the file system select list. At least thats how it
worked for me on PFS.
Either way I expect someone else will chime in to confirm or deny.
