"Couldn't Open Device" during format
« on: June 07, 2005, 11:02:48 AM »
I partitioned my new 1.x Gb Hd in HDTOOLs on my 1200, I had the partitions small, but now they are both about 800Mb. THe change is now that they are large, it will tell me at about 50% of the format, that it Couldn't Open Device DH0.

What is this all about? Verify said the drive was perfect.

I'm booting off an un-modified OS 3.1 Install disk...


nothing is running in the back ground, and what about DOS?!?

I forgot to mention, it formats fine with a Quick Format.
