[comp.sys.amiga] Gurus when I try to format HD

dt1@CUNIXB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU (David Tinkov) (10/24/89)

	Thanks to the help of Ed Hanway (Eastman Kodak Company
...!rochester!kodak!elmgate!jeh), I was able to prep my Seagate ST26N
and created one partition (DH0).  The partition now mounts properly
with BindDrivers (before it used to hang on that command).  But when I
try to format it (format drive dh0: name Sys0 quick ffs), it states:
"insert disk into DH0: (is that normal?) and press return."  Which I
do. Then immediately the requestor "Software Error/Task Held" pops up
and the system gurus.

	Could this be a problem with the values I gave to RDPrep (I
mostly used defaults that my HardFrame obtained from the drive)?  My
drive is 80 megs.  What are the more crucial values that must be given
to the prep program?  Or is this some other problem?

	I'm one step closer to a functional system.  Please help if
you can.
