Hi The NetApp disk reports 520 byte block size. Windows does'nt like that and "Not allowing to format the drive" Does any one know if there is some tool to format it so that windows can see it as 512 byte partition size. Like in linux there is SCU(scsi command uitlity). regards -vikas

This should be an obvious question. But I couldn't find an obvious answer to it searching the net. During backups, do DDS 1-4 tape drives compare & verify data as they write to the tape? (As opposed to Travan drives which can't do that and require a separate compare pass after the backup is...
