With QPC you are probably better off with a larger number of smaller drives: They are a lot quicker to backup using the Windoze file system. Although you can only have up to eight drives online at a time, you can have many more on your hard disk and swap between them as required. Use Qwirc for this (FREE from Dilwyn's excellent site) or type in your commands in Basic. > Still wonder if there is any reason for the format failure, maybe a > limit to block size or something ? The theoretical limit of the QLWA disk format appears to be 4Gb (using a block size of 65k - what a waste!) But only max 32k block sizes are currently implemented => 2Gb. Only worth using where you need to store large files. Better use smaller partitions for normal use. Per
