Yet another Rwabs question: Can anyone tell me how to trap the call to the dialog box which says something to the effect of Data in Drive X: is damages... ? Thanks in advance -- Greg

I suspect that you are trying to scan the disk for bad sectors, and don't want the message. If so, try OR-ing 0x8 to the command word. Supra and or ICD use this to turn off retries, and I would suspect it will also stop the dialog box call as well. Howard C. Johnson ATT Bell Labs att!lzsc!hcj hcj@lzsc.att.com
