I'll leave this bug report open because the error message could certainly be better. Mtools can try multiple disk geometries to read a disk, but needs to know which one you really want to use in order to write on a disk. You can provide this info to mformat manually: SYNOPSIS mformat [ -t tracks ] [ -h heads ] [ -s sectors ] [ -l volume label ] drive: or you can provide information specific to your hardware configuration by editing /etc/mtools.ref. There are examples in that file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com (Bill Mitchell) Subject: Bug#1355: Info received (was Bug#1355: mformat does not work) In-Reply-To: <9509131414.AA01912@bb29c.mdd.comm.mot.com> References: <9509131414.AA01912@bb29c.mdd.comm.mot.com> Thank you for the additional information you have supplied regarding this problem report.

I remember an announcement a couple of weeks ago of a new, totally rewritten, version of mtools. Maybe this has been fixed in that version?
