We recently received a number of RT's from IBM. In the
course of setting up two of them, the following 
problem occured.

Our RT's came with two hard drives (330M and 220M
approximately). In both cases one drive was formatted
without incident.The initial installation program was 
run as usual, and the hard drives were formatted. 
During the formatting of the second of the two drives 
the formatting utility lockup and required
a ctrl-alt-pause to restart it. When the program was 
restarted, it did not recognize this drive, ie. it does
the software does not display the drive as an option for
formatting.In one case it was the 220M drive that was not
recognized, in another it was the 330M drive. 

If anyone has a clue as to how to get the installation 
program to recognize these drives, email would be greatly
appreciated.
