Hi Steven,

I updated os2dasd.dmd -- it and usbmsd.add are now the same as on eCS.

It did not make any difference.

I checked with Dfsee again, and it suggested that I run FIXHS (fix hidden
sectors), which I did.

Dfsee now gives the drive a clean bill of health.

So does eCS.

Under eCS I can now run LVM with no error message. It sees the new volume
with the correct size ((76308 MB) and will allow me to change it if I
want.

It is now only under Warp 4 that the problem remains.
LVM (under Warp 4) says there may be a partition error and will not list
the volume. It also shows the amount of space on the drive incorrectly.

I believe that there is an incomaptiblity with LVM and Warp 4. As long as
this USB Hard Drive checks out under eCS and under Windows, I am inclined
to trust it.

Is there an update to LVM that I might try?

Thanks,
Sandy
