I am trying to format a hard drive in a Model 25.  The hard drive
mechanism is a Miniscribe 20 meg and the card is a CMS Controller
Card.  When using the low level format in debug, it formats ok.  When
formatting with format c:/s/v it says it can't write the directory.
When using PC tools Disk formatter version 4.11, it returns the error
code: 02h no addr mark c0,h1,s:18

If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it.  Please respond
through mail, not in the newsgroup.

					Thank you
