But right after I type in command format, the box responsed by a message saying the disk is preformated. I have used the drive previously on a NT box. So I don't have to format the disk like we do on Windows system? Can you clear my confusion here ? Thanks, Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------- Sent using Phorum software version 3.4.3a <http://phorum.org>
