I had install format the drives during the System analysis phase when it found the drives. I Activate them, then Format them. BTW there is an option there, Use DIAG. What's DIAG? Should I have told it to dasdfmt in the partition screen? That's what I'll do next. It's a bit slow, about 30 minutes to format a 10GB 3390. Paul
