Hi Tim, I'm currently using a Quantum 105MB SCSI drive with my HardFrame 2000 and have had similar Read/Write errors occasionally as you do. Originally, I had the Drive Partitioned into 2 Logical Drives and didn't have any Read/Write Problems. But ever since I made 6 Partitions on my Drive, it occassionally gets the Read/Write errors especially in very large files. Clicking on the retry usually fixes it. The Hardframe will autoconfigure your hard drive when you boot up so that no mountlist entry is needed, though it is possible to use a mountlist entry to manually mount the drive. As long as you use the RDPrep program to configure the Rigid Disk Block area on your drive, you won't need the Mountlist entry. I agree that the documentation for it is terrible !!! The documentation on the Installtion Disk called HardFrame.UserGuide should be enough to get you through it. That is, if you accept the default parameters that it SUPPOSEDLY reads off of your harddrive. Someone here in AmigaTech could probably get you the Specs on the Miniscribe Drive, the same way I got mine for the Quantum. I hope you get your drive up running 100% like i'm trying to get mine!! P.S. This weekend i'm going to backup my entire harddrive and reformat it. Fun, Fun, Fun…….Here we Come …… Kerry
