Quiet in here innit?  Did everyone OD on Guinness at/after the QL show and still 
suffering the mothers of all hangovers??  ;O)

Can somebody enlighten me as to what a Qubide hard disk is?  Is it a special hardware 
unlike a normal IDE disk and only available from one supplier?  Is it a normal disk 
but supplied with some unique low level format?

I tried to partition a harddisk using the partition_exe program from the qub156.zip.  
The disk had been partitioned previously but they had all been deleted using a Linux 
fdisk.

The partition_exe program detected the disk device but complained when trying to 
create a partition that it was not a Qubide disk.  Is some other preparation procedure 
needed to turn a normal IDE disk into a Qubide one?

Ian.
