- I've got an A2000 with 2.0 ROM, 2.1 WB. I am trying to format a HD disk
- in a Dell HD drive. I had it working just fine but that was before I
- accidently formatted dh0: Go ahead, call me a dumbass................
- I've got the crossdos file "pc1" renamed as "df2" in the dosdrivers drawer
- as unit 2.(df2:) The drive seems to format the disk just fine. When
- initializing the disk I get the dos message "Format Failure: Error 254"
- When I used the dostype originally in the "pc1" file, (0x4F534400) it
- would not even format the disk. I changed the last numeral to a 1
- (0x4F534401) and it seems to format fine. That's when I get the message.
- I've also tried changing the dostype to 0X444f5300,......same response.
- Now, since you've read this much, you might as well start punching those
- keys and help me out! Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
