I have an A1000 with a Progressive Peripherals "The Vault" 33 meg Seagate hard drive connected. It generally provides good service on the DH0: partition (16M), but the DH1: partition, after 2 or 3 weeks of use, begins to get read/write errors, increasingly so daily until it becomes necessary to backup and reformat the drive. I tried formatting it with "Bformat4", with the slow option, which checks the drive very thoroughly for errors, and takes quite a while (overnight was how long I left it.. not because I wanted to but because I fell asleep waiting for it). Bformat found no anomalies with the disk. Is there maybe an update for the driver software, or does anyone out there know a way I can stop this behaviour?
