NOTE: If you had mounted the drive prior to formatting, then format, then access the drive, you will get a DOS error. After formatting you should do a DiskChange XXX: (DiskChance is in the `C' directory of workbench 1.2) [OOPS! That was supposed to be DISKCHANGE not diskchance , but on second thought that may be a better name for the command] The DiskChange command tells DOS that there is a new disk in the Drive (in your case a newly formatted hard disk) and it should not assume (which it does until you use DiskChange) that the disk is bad. Hope this helps. If not, call me, we make HD's and I generally can find the problems with them. E.J. Lippert II C Ltd. – (316) 267-6322
