I've had the hardframe for a number of years now and have always used 
the CLI format quick uption with no problems.  By the way, did you 
really type in {QUICK} ?  The correct way of course is not to have the 
brackets around quick.  The only thing I can think of why you'ld get an 
error without using the quick option is if you specified more sectors 
per trask than is actually allowed.  Did you have to set your parameters 
manually or was the software able to get it from the drive?

If it is a blocks per track problem, it would show itself pretty quick.  
I made that mistake once and gradually I found that some of my commands 
in my c: directory wouldn't work anymore.  By typing them to the screen 
I actually saw part of my resume tacked onto the end of my dir command!!
I had set too may blocks per track and I guess some of my blocks 
overlapped somewhat.
Well, hope this helps...
