DJ: The HDTools recognizes the Bernoulli drive all right and even gives the correct parameters, but with WB3.1 the FastFileSystem that was there before is gone and the only thing comes close to working is the CrossDOSFileSystem. However, the CrossDOSFileSystem wants to setup the Bernoulli differently using less blocks per cylinder and more cylinders. So I have to take the old disk data and use it with the new file system to get any where at all. I thought that there was not supposed to be a normal MountList any more but it certainly seems like the system is recording something in some place other that the harddisk itself. Thanks, at least I know what a RDB means now…I still believe there is a Rigid MountList somewhere or a Rigid Demon Bad-guy doing me in. I do have a standard C= controller and I do repartition after the low-level format (which really does take awhile). However, there seems to be a conflict between the old FFS and the new CrossDOS system. Of course for WB3.1 the harddisk guide that came with my A3000 back in the WB2.0 days is very out of date and wasn't all that complete anyway. The official Amiga Hardware Manual that you can get along with the ROM Kernal Manuals doesn't include the harddisk, so it is of no value for this problem. I wish there was some way to get to the nitty-gritty of this process. Thanks for the additional info, regards, Norm
