The Q40 SMSQ/E does not say that anthing other than WIN1_ can be used with
the WIN_FORMAT command.
But if you enter WIN_FORMAT 1 and try FORMAT WIN2_, you get a Access Denied
error message.
So the correct syntx for WIN_FORMAT is WINFORMAT win_drive
This assumes that the WNx_ device has been

NO! The best scenario that can happen is that the drive will not be
recognized as being there. The worst scenario... well, I guess you have
learned about that one!

Hi Richard
I was talking about using a CDRW writer from SMSQ/E. I have used CD writers
on Linux on PCs, so on the Q40 Linux, it should be the same.

Linux to Windows

This is a common problem with the Syquest drives. Sometimes they seem
I'm still having problems with the Syquest and it keeping a partition. I
also found that copying from the Syquest to win1_ caused win1_ to be corrupted.
I'm also starting to wonder about the Q40 manual. I formatted HD like this
Partition 1 (/dev/hda1) QWA QDOS1
Partition 2
Now, after I formatted parition 1 I was able to reboot from linux to SMSQ/E
and copy some files from flp1_ to win1_. Now I did a reboot to verify that
the boot file will run and suddenly I can't see win1_. I set win_drive
1,0,0 and nothing. I set win_drive to 2,0,1 and I see the second
