Boy do I have a strange one. I cannot format or write to my disk, but the
disk reads just fine. I've tried different media, just about any different
setting on both the motherboard and Windows 98 I could think of, new
busmaster drivers. Checked ASPI layers, tried TREE different burning
softwares, and spent HOURS on the net checking forum, knowledge bases, and
tech sites for a similar problem - NOTHING like it is mentioned! Yes, the
drive is ok - had it checked at a local computer service place.

My machines (yep tried it on BOTH) are home built with AMD K6/2 -

Machine #1 (the one I WANT to use the drive with)
FIC 503+ motherboard with K6/2 - 350
96 megs of ram
Fujitzu 3.1gig harddrive
Intense 3dVoodoo PCI video
no modem

Machine #2
Amptron motherboard with K6/2 - 500
256megs ram
13 gig WD harddrive
TNT AGP video
US DRIVES 24X CD rom

BOTH machines are running Windows 98 v4.10.98
I've even tried a fresh, reformatted cleaninstall on Machine #1 of Windows.
NEW busmaster drivers
Current BIOS
Tried different cables
Different bus - main and secondary
Tried CD-RW as slave and master to BOTH CDrom and Harddrive and separate
from each.

FYI - same happened with another brand drive (I returned that drive to try
Creative 8432) other drive was a NEC - NR-7500a

Easy CD reports an "Illegal Request" when attempting format.
Prassi abCD reports "Formatting error"

YIKES!!! Now what????????????????????

Thanks
