Dev. Corp., Aurora, Co. Lines: 21 Ok, I have a 72 meg CDC Wren II drive and tried to install it using 'idtools'. The format seemed to go fine and so did the verify. This is on a 3b2/310. I used the these params: id 5 cyl 925 trk/cyl 9 sec/trk 18 bytes/trk 512 Then entered the bad track list and the software returned ok from verify ok. What does one do next? I tried to mkfs and received this: Bad sanity word in Vtoc on drive 1 followed by 'mkfs' trying to make a file systems but bombing out with a read error. I must not be doing this correctly. Any help? The drive is the same as the 72meg number 0 drive. Model # 94155-086 Thanks. -- <---------------------------++++++++++++++++++-----------------------------> Cyro Lord Alpha Comm. Dev.
