I'm not at all sure what devices your numbers represent but I think I can solve your mystery if any of them were formatted using CFormat. CorelSCSI uses 1024 byte sectors, although it will recognize smaller ones. DOS only goes up to 512 byte sectors. CorelSCSI does this by running PATCH.EXE and patching your system files to allow the larger sector size. Fine–but 6.2 overwrote your old 6.0 hidden system files and in the process erased the patch! Try this: go to the directory with CorelSCSI in it, type PATCH, and choose 1024. Reboot, and see if this doesn't cure the problem. If it doesn't, you may have devices with even larger sector sizes….
