Norman,
The Mountlist stuff is for old (OS versions. All that stuff is now saved
in the Rigid Disk Block in the harddrive itself. The Harddrive manual
comes with the original manual set of the 3000 and 4000. What parameters
are you entering in the HDToolBox partitioning requester (that is, what
are you changing?) Does the HDToolBox reckognize your Bernoulie as such?
It should have an entry in the main requester.
Also, although I don't think the low level format is doing anything, you
should never do it except as a last resort when you have a disk that's
really in bad shape. I think most drives ignore it. If you did do a
successful low level format (they take a while), you would have to
partition your drive again, as the RDB would be cleared.
This works if you are using a C= controller, i.e. a 3000 or 4000 internal
SCSI or IDE. If you have a third-party controller you may need to use
their own disk partitioning software. Can you give some more info on your
hardware setup?
