I think I've discovered the problem. *Sometimes* I'll be asked if I want to activate the logical volumes. It seems to happen when I proceed directly without any "exploring", that is without changing my mind about which option to select next and without backing up to redo something. *IFF* that question is asked and I answer 'yes' then the logical volumes will be presented for formating, etc. -- In giving advice, seek to help, not please, a friend. -Anonymous Rick Pasotto [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.niof.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
