Notes on using the Hard Disk ToolKit™ 2.5.2 to 2.5.3 Retail Version Update
This updater will update only retail versions of Hard Disk ToolKit•PE™ 2.5.2. These versions use one of the following serial number series:
1. LC2nnnnnnnn
2. LT2nnnnnnnn
3. LF2nnnnnnnn
4. LH2nnnnnnnn
If your copy of Hard Disk ToolKit•PE™ 2.5.2 does not use one of these serial numbers, it is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) version (the software was packaged with a hard drive or computer system). You must contact your drive or system manufacturer to obtain an OEM updater.
Before Updating
• We recommend that you perform a clean install of Hard Disk ToolKit•PE™ 2.5.2 before performing the update. This ensures that you have a good set of applications and extensions to update.
Easy Update or Custom Update
• Most users should use Easy Update. If you installed Hard Disk ToolKit•PE™ 2.5.2 using Easy Install, Easy Update will update the components that are either in the same folder as "Hard Disk ToolKit•PE™" or, in the case of extensions, in the System Folder on the same volume where HDT is stored.
• You will need to use Custom Update for the FWB Tools•PE™ extension if your copy of this extension is located in a System Folder other than one located on the same volume as your copy of the HDT•PE applications. A custom updater is also available for the FWB Crisis Tool™, which is provided with the floppy version of HDT•PE™.

New Features and Fixes in 2.5.3
• Compatibility with Mac™ OS 8.5:
Hard Disk ToolKit•Personal Edition™ is compatible with Mac OS 8.5.
Known Issues in 2.5.3
• Changing Automount setting:
With HDT•PE 2.5.x, once you set a volume to Automount, you cannot respecify that it should not Automount. You can specify that a volume SHOULD NOT Automount when you first create it; however, if you respecify that the volume SHOULD Automount, you cannot change it back by unchecking the Automount setting. To work around this problem once Automount is specified, delete the volume and recreate it with the Automount attribute unchecked. Automount will be more configurable in subsequent releases of Hard Disk ToolKit•Personal Edition.
