I would suggest you check with VP/ix and see if the version you have
supports the COMPACQ 3.31 method of creating and accessing partions.
There are lots of older versions of software (Spinright being one) that
will not be able to use the larger partions, simply due to design.
If you feel you have the correct level of s/w give DR tech support a
call.
