Tom, with respect, this "feature to partition unallocated space" is another
V E R Y L O N G saga (12-18 months?) filling many News Group column
inches, for which everyone and his dog has tried to get Harry to fix. Best

Harry,

FWIW, it seems the source of your problem with this issue may be the fact
that you partitioned the unallocated space on the hard disk. Where did
you come "across a feature to partition unallocated space?" When you
created the new partition, did the "feature" you reference re-map the
drives? If not, I suspect you've got quite a mess on your hands and thus
the reason you're seeing the error message(s).

Thanks for the reply, but where is Noel? Hope he is not ill.
Concerning your question about my drives, I'm a bit at a loss, because of
what happened in between with my harddrive, if you can recall. When
fixing
that, I came across a feature to partition unallocated space and I went
ahead to do that. It worked too, but in the process the new drive became
'E'
and CD-Rom went from 'E' to 'F', leaving the error messages unchanged.
Also I seem to recall CD-ROM being 'R/W' instead of just 'W'.
As for the rest of your question, I need specific instructions for
producing
the required information. I did send my aida32-report to Noel with no
response.
To tell you the truth, I'm at the end of my tolerance and ready to
replace
the CD-ROM drive in the hope this will fix it.
The exact error messages a
"The disk in drive F is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?"
Clicking on "Yes" brings up:
"This drive cannot be formatted".
Next I get the message:
"The disk in drive F cannot be formatted.."
An inserted disk is not recognized and , as a matter of fact, none of the
specific abilities/properties of the drive show up, including 'Format'
and
'Eject', with eject still being listed and format not.

Harry.
