Hi Guys! Looking for some MFX3+ owners that are UK based. Here's my problem. Can't seem to format a 36gb seagate to FLFS on my machine. See's it on boot and it's there, attached, but I get a cache error message! So I quit/shell, do my usual "diskinit/ts20-w <RETURN>" for formatting and "Nothing"! Need to get another MFX3+ machine, to format the disk. Any ideas? Daza

Hi Daza, Is there any chance this disk was formatted as FAT16 or FAT32 (or even NTFS) before you attached it to the MFX? [Steve] ________________________________
