Hello Neil

After you saying to try pfsformat on the drive it appears to have worked. I
managed to get it to define a 8gig partition and it formatted it fine
(takes ages though pfsformat! :-/ must have taken 2 and half hours!).. I do
have aproblem though still and I thinks to do with DOpus though.

If I issue a 'info' command I get the following returned about the new
partition:

MX0: 7672M 7 15712505 0% 0 Read/Write Recordings

However, When I open a DOpus file lister it is telling me that there is 3.5G
free with 0% in use - shouldnt that be something like 7.6g free 0% in use
going by the info output? If so, is there a setting somewhere in DOpus I
need to set so that I can see the full partiton size?

I seem to recall you saying Neil that you have a 8Gig partiton without any
problems? (and you use DOpus dontcha?)

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction though!
