Do you >*know* that yours need to be reformatted? Yes I do ! I have a nice 200 Meg drive that I had to format on some other equipment and two weeks ago it came up with a bad block. I fixed the problem and had to reformat only to be reminded that my ol sun3 wouldn't format my drive... It's really a drag to have to physically take my hard disk out, bring it to work and reformat it on some equipment that I'm not too familiar with. -- Scoob -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christian Marcotte Bell-Northern Research scoob@bnr.ca 3500 Carling Ave Telephone: (613) 763-2782 Nepean, Ont., Canada K1Y 4H7
