I know you not suppose to mix HD tools, but according to HDInstTools documentation, you can mix HDToolBox and HDInstTools.
So I did some test using booth HDToolBox (from WB 2.1) and HDInstTools (6.9).
I noticed some difference between WinUAE 1.4.3 and WinUAE 1.4.4 regarding these tools.

My configuration:
Kickstart 1.3
Workbench 1.3.3
HDToolBox from WB 2.1 - with uaehf.device
HDInstTools 6.9 - with uaehf.device
Two HDF files in RDB mode. (Each HDF containing only one partition)

I am booting from HDF file 1 and using HDF file 2 only for storing files.
In booth WinUAE 1.4.3 and 1.4.4 the system is booting fine and shows the two harddisks in workbench.

In WinUAE 1.4.3 I can see only one harddisk if I use HDToolBox. HDInstTools show me booth harddisks.
In WinUAE 1.4.4 I can see only one harddisk if I use HDInstTools. HDToolBox show me booth harddisks.

The other way around in 1.4.4. I guess the two tools works a little bit different. Are there any settings
in 1.4.4 that make booth HDInstTools and HDToolBox to display all harddisks in the system?
