I don't think its FFS messing it up.  I have a friend who has the GVP
2000/0 with a quantum 40q and GVP informed him/us that for each partition
on your drive the controller allocates 80K of ram.  That is probably your
problem.  It caused us a lot of grief at one time.  We ended up reformatting
the drive with only one partition to get most 1M required demos to work.

Hope this helps
