At a guess (and I'm not terribly knowledgeable about this), it's probably going to be very hard to fix. Win2000 is based on the old NT architecture which prevents direct hardware access. I would assume that Edwin's stuff does this to format a disk to the number of tracks used by the sam (different to the number used by the pc). I suspect, assuming my diagnosis is correct, that the problem may even be unfixable. Afraid your only solution might be to install Win95/98 HTH Dave
