You will likely have to fdisk, disklabel, and then newfs partitions on the disk. If you can read/write the raw partition e.g. dd if=/dev/sd0a of=/dev/null count=4k bs=4k (should read 16 MB of data) then these steps should make it mountable. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
