I've finally got my HP 97544 380 Meg harddisk working BUT.....
I'm using the Microbotics HardFrame and found that I couldn't
Format the drive ... The HardFrame is at the latest rev (V1.9)
It was O.K. Low-level formatting....
It was O.K. to created 4 partions...unsin the RDPrep program
Then I reboot and tried to format the drive and it failed after
approx 3-4 cylinders...(Highlighted disk the used the Workbench Disk
Init)
I then tried formatting from the CLI failed again UNTIL I put the
QUICK flag on the end of the command...
(Format drive DH0: name HP_0 Noicons {QUICK} )
I've copied my Workbench disk onto the new partions and the disk
allows the system to reboot off the new partion....
Is their a problem with the HardFrame...??
Am I going to have any trouble with these partions because I haven't
Amiga Dos formated them..??

is that a "zoned" harddisk? I ran into the same problem with my
Quantum 200Meg disk. Works fine with the FORMAT QUICK, I've even
filled up the partitions to 100% with no complaints.
Very strange. I have the previous rev of the Hardframe software.

The HP isn't a zoned drive and I have spoken to several people and
they say I should be O.K....
The other sugestion was to put the drive on an A2091 and FORMAT
that way....
It is working O.K. so I just leave it ... UNLESS someone wants to BUY
IT....(�650)
