Which formatter did you use to format your SH205? Please keep in
mind that 1.5.10 does not know the extended formatting scheme
used by AHDI 3.0 and upwards. It also doesn't know about more
than 4 partitions on a HD when you use the ICD/Supra way (like
Claus Brod's SED/CBHD do. If this is your problem: dont' worry.
1.5.10.3 knows about both schemes.
