It showed the correct geometry, but it didn't take the command. Here's a summary of the error messages: Returned host adapter status 2: 15 00 04 00 0c 00 Illegal request Info field and command specific info fields are both invalid (0). Additional sense code 24, qualifier 0. Senseinfo (32 of 48): 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 24 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 32 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Sorry I don't have the exact info, but the machine isn't conected to the net yet. If any of this looks garbled, I'll try better. This is beginning to look like the disk doesn't like being talked to in this language. Do you think it's worth following up on your other suggestion? What about resetting to the default values (which include 512 byte sectors)? Greg
