I recently had a similar problem with my machine, also using the Gold CD. fdisk and cfdisk would write PRIMARY partitions fine, but not logical partitions. Windows95 could make logical partition. I finally attributed it to the (later discovered) fact that the hard drive had bad blocks on 80% of it, but maybe not if you are experiencing a similar problem. This is a SCSI-2 drive on an aha152 SCSI card (the SoundBlaster16-SCSI-2 card). Dennis S. Hennen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
