Hi Mike,
what is the partition table on the drive?
Also, can you try rmformat with p0 which is whole disk?

Dne  3.08.10 14:55, Mike DeMarco napsal(a):
I have a 1Tbyte usb external HD that I want to be able to read with windows and 
b134. I have tried all of the below but am unable to get solaris to read and 
write to it.

mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p1
       *Bad Sig on master boot record!
mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p1:c
       *No such logical drive (missing extended partition entry)
rmformat -F long /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1
       *Not a removable device
rmformat -F long /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p1
       *DKIOREMOVABLE ioctl failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 /mnt
       *mount: /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 is not a DOS filesystem.
mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c10t0d0p1 /mnt
touch /mnt/testfile
        *cannot create regular file /mnt/testfile: Read-only file system

The ntfs mount is after installing FSWpart&  FSWfsmis

just need this drive to work like a memory stick. so I can move files between 
my duel boots.

Thanks
