Emax

I partitioned and formatted the drive, it shows in windows explorer 
and emxp recognises it now, but emxp says the disk is too 
small...??? 
I used winhex to write the data from a .em2 file to the hd and I 
still get "not emax II drive"... 
I guess it's time for ebay. Thanks for your help esythesis(emax 
guru).
