Yae I am sure that this disk OK.
The first two partitions are 510MB remaining three are 1GB.
I can also try on other disks because I have several of them, who I am 
using to other computers
At the moment changed settings HDDriver, the first partition was earlier 
for  example I: \ and on the other partitions also works, so it is not a 
problem with the size of the partition, eg Using HDDRUTIL I have no 
trouble to make image partition from IDE 1GB on the SCSI disk.

I also make smaller partition about 256 MB and then I inform you

Regards
Piotr
