I thought of that. But, the problem is that I cann't write anything to
that partition except for the first 160 clusters of the partition.
I have no problem with NOT using the second half of that HD... but was
curious. Never had the 'format' command repairing clusters in a 10 hour
job with no result in the end.
Format states that the partition is formatted and that the system is
coppied. The system is coppied and writing to the partition is possible
but after a few hundreds of Kb their is 'no room on the disk' although
not one percent of the total space is used...
And I am still CURIOUS of what is going on...
