I find this also VERY STRANGE!!. I got some answers on my question and all of them has different answers. I phoned my local dealer last night and he said that I didn't have to use 'Prep' to install my new SCSI drive. It was just to mount it and format it. I tried that, but as I guessed, it didn't work. I haven't tried 'Prep' with the new values I got from all of you, but I will. Perhaps someone that has intalled a Quantum Pro105S in an A2000 with A2090a can give me some help. E-mail is fine. Please help me, because I'm sitting on $500 and I can't use it!!!
