	I've finally got my HP 97544 380 Meg harddisk working BUT.....


	I'm using the Microbotics HardFrame and found that I couldn't 
	Format the drive ... The HardFrame is at the latest rev (V1.9)

	It was O.K. Low-level formatting....

	It was O.K. adding RDB using RDPrep I created 4 partions...

	The on the reboot I tried to format the drive and it failed after
	approx 3-4 cylinders...(Highlighted disk the used the Workbench Disk
	Init) 

	I then tried formatting from the CLI failed again UNTIL I put the 
	QUICK flag on the end of the command...

	(Format drive DH0: name HP_0 Noicons {QUICK} )

	I've copied my Workbench disk onto the new partions and the disk 
	allows the system to reboot off the new partion....

	Is their a problem with the HardFrame...??
	Am I going to have any trouble with these partions because I haven't 
	Amiga Dos formated them..??
