Thanks Neil, Linux of no interest to me.
I've managed to get to grips with this changeover now. Main trouble seemed
to be adding the PFS3 file system into HDInstTools. It kept coming up as
FastFileSystem in the window despite having the correct file size, then
when trying to do a change to custom the Dos type was shown as RESV or
something like that. I had to use HDToolbox to *add* the new file system,
and then HDInstTools to* change* it on the partitions.
Very frustrating, but now nearly completed.

Cheers
