Hi Martin!
We've had the same problems with the larger (>1 MB) drives too. A mutual friend
of ours has also been having the same problems. (I mention this so's you don't
feel all alone. <G>)
I called engineers everywhere. The symantec people say that DOS isn't ready for
drives with capacities greater than 1 GIG. They suggested NT or Novell's
Server. (Which won't work for our purposes.) They also suggested smaller
partitions which is a pain I know.
Best thing I can say is contact the controller people and make sure you've got
the very latest bios upgrades for your controllers. (Personally I think they
should put the larger hard drives and controllers back in the oven until
they're done!)
