Emax

Is the drive listed in Windows Explorer ?
E.g. as a drive G or H or whatever... If so, do you mean that EMXP 
gives an error when entering this driveletter ?
But if it is not listed in Windows Explorer, I don't know what you 
should do... EMXP at least requires that Windows sees a drive. Until 
now I only worked with removable drives, which means there's always a 
drive letter assigned but not necessarily a disk in the drive.
But if the HD is fixed and not formatted for windows, perhaps Windows 
doesn't see the drive and doesn't assign a drive letter to it (while 
MacDisk recognizes it via the scsi bus scan...).
By the way: I assume you have a scsi driver on Windows installed :-) ?

If you find another way of writing "raw data" directly to a harddisk, 
you can try it, e.g. maybe on a mac computer. EMXP is not really 
required to write the image to the disk, any "raw writing" utility 
can do it, also on mac. Unfortunately I don't know such tools for mac.
