The disc might also be corrupted.  I can't remember what the FileSnore
does if it encounters a corrupt or unformatted disc - it might simply
ignore it.

Have you tried running the remote formatter [1] to find out whether it
can see a disc attached to the FileSnore?

Would you post back when you find the solution?  I'd be interested to
hear what the problem was.

[1] this is a formatter utility which can be run on a Beeb or Master to
format a FileSnore hard disc over the network.  I think there's also an
Arc version.  It's needed for the ExxS as the SCSI drives can't be
attached directly to a BBC/Master for formatting, whereas the non-S Exx
discs can.
