I am not using eCSMT on this computer because I am still using OS/2 warp
(with the new kernel, etc.). I did try it, however, under eCS (on another
partition on this computer) which is eCSMT updated. However, I will double
check and let you know if anything changes.

>>I did a DFSEE wipe and recreated a new partition, but still no luck.

DFSEE is still a bit obscure for me. What I did was:
"Fix CHS values to geometry."

>When you did the wipe, did you wipe the drive or just the volume?

I did:
"Erase, wipe current object" and the entire drive was erased (took most of
the day!). I did not try Secure wipe.

Still, the 80 GB USB drive is also a FAT32 formatted drive, and it works
fine under OS/2 warp.
