David, Once I managed to figure it out it was very efficient and created two partitions without any user interference. BUT I had some trouble getting the automatic option to run at first and kept getting a message about incompatible no of blocks/tracks/sectors vs disk size. As all I had done was click on the Automatic icon you can perhaps understand my initial confusion. After a minor panic I went into the advanced options and tried the 'Read Drive' button. Lo and behold the various pointers were reset correctly and on going back into automatic all went without a hiccup. I particularly liked the idea of feeding floppies for copying onto the hard disk – very neat. This brings me back to the manual which was no comfort in this time of great stress<g>. Having previously used the C= HDToolbox I was, I confess, quite impressed with Faaastprep which was much slicker. I wonder whether the fact that the drive had been previously formatted using HDToolbox confused GVP's software ? Joe – Whapping from the UK.
