Hi all,

At least, I had a successful HD Format.

I used "Format a: /FS:FAT" under XP DOSbox, then "FORMAT "flp1_name*D"" under QPC2 as suggested. This gave the usual format "sound" under QPC2 (as known from SQB...). A native format under QPC2 is not possible, there is the same problem, as Rich wrote. Wonder why...?

Thanks to all.

Cheers...Ralf


I wonder if this has anything to do with the problems I encountered some years ago when I was writing a popup tool for formatting disks...

On a standard QL, I could happily format DD, HD and ED disks without problems.
I could also use
FORMAT "flp1_name*H"
and
FORMAT "flp1_name*E"

But, if I then tried:
FORMAT "flp1_name*D"

It always gave FORMAT FAILED !!
