It depends, in my case I had an existing directory that I wanted to use 
as my HD drive, but it already had a desktop.inf in it.
In such case, TOS won't show a "c:" drive, it will only use the drives 
defined in desktop.inf.

So assuming people using the gemdos HD option will do this to use a copy 
of their old ST, chance are high a desktop.inf file will be present and 
"c:" won't appear.
