That's a very unusual and strange situation, I believe the computer you see in the network might be the same computer that you're working on because it seems Jaguar left traces in the ROM or disk, that could be the reason, something really remote but possible. Resetting CUDA should solve this or look ahead for some other solution. If you use a formatting program like FWB Hard Disk Toolkit you are able to see each and every partition your drive has, since you just initialized the drive (maybe you selected the disk on the desktop and did a quick initialize) you selected the mounted volume very likely and if for some reason the disk has a partition which still has some traces of Jaguar that is unmounted (to me this is the ONLY logical explanation) this can happen. If you don't have FWB use Drive Setup and select the whole drive rather than the volume, can't miss that in Drive Setup. And do a low level format (if a quick format delivers no solution). If this doesn't help I am stumped, help anyone? Lil -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
