> >Now the stupid question.. HOW YOU YOU LOW_LEVEL FORMAT AN SCSI DRIVE? > It's probably worth mentioning that some SCSI drives execute format in a second or so. That is, it just 'remembers' it's been formatted, and skips the rest (it was done at the factory, and can only be done the one way, so why do it all again.). Partitioning is PDQ too, so don't think it's screwed up if it only takes a minute or two, so long as no errors get reported. Dave.
