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!) …Earl
