This has come up before I think. Reduce the number of heads in your mount list to 7, and increase the blocks per track accordingly. Also, I have a 330 meg Priam drive, and when I first got it I formatted the whole thing as one volume. There may be a bug in DOS regarding disk sizes (I'm using 1.3) but I haven't seen it. Rick
