Parition Manager Not Creating Paritions Correctly

Hi.

I've trying to use parition manager to create a partion on a 1Gb SanDisk CF via a idaA ide card.

I can create the partition of 500Mb. But the initialisation does NOT present the disk to RISC OS 3.11

My machine is an A440/1 with an ideA controller. I have managed to initialise the disk via !IDEFormat from the ICS software.

I've tried both Partiton Manager lite and Partition Manager full - both fail.

Also something which is strange, I can create two partitions via !IDEFormat but I can only create 1 parition via parition manager

Any clues.
Regards
Richard

It doesn’t sound like it’s detected the IDE card correctly, could you please attach a debug log.
