I have created a hardfile and formated it with MS-DOS on PCTask, but now I cant mount the volume to make it visible on AmigaOS. I have tried to use the tool that come with PCTask to mount it automatically, and even tried to edit my own mountlist, without luck.

I do know that I need to use the CrossDos handler for that, but the problem that I have is to decipher the parameters that I need to use for the blocks, sectors, cylinders and so on.

Can anyone show for me how do I can find these values on my hardfile?
