The disk is recognized as rmdisk0, and it says it is unformatted (I formatted on a PC, though, maybe it is a file system not recognizable in solaris). Problem is when I type the command format, it is not in the list of available disks. When I try to format using the removable media manager window (by just clicking on the icon of the disk and going to format), a window pops up, I select the file system, give a label, click format, but nothing seems to happen. Don't get any error messages either. Any clues? Thanks a lot, Fer ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sent using Phorum software version 3.4.4 <http://phorum.org>
