Hello Alan,

        I have been starting to see other messages that are leading me
to actually believe that I have a bad disk.

        Suddenly I can not logon MAINT without getting that message.
(IPL 190).  IPL CMS works ok.
        
Ready; T=0.01/0.02 11:30:43                         
q alloc page                                        
            EXTENT EXTENT  TOTAL  PAGES   HIGH    % 
VOLID  RDEV  START    END  PAGES IN USE   PAGE USED

                          ------ ------        ----

USABLE                     42120   1007          2%


        .

Could I 
1) I can get a volume with only paging on it

2) tell System Config that the new volume is first, re-ipl,

3) do a q alloc page to ensure that the 430RES/430W03 page areas are not
being used.

4) either change the allocation to remove the page areas from
430RES/430W03,
        or cpformat just those areas.
