I ran another test where I removed a good drive from the E85H, put it in a USB drive, and allowed XP to write a signature. This was enough for the drive to become "unformatted" to the unit.

Well I gave up!
I wiped the original 120 Gb drive and reinstalled it in the unit and reformatted it.
Neither Linux, W98 or W2k could read the good drive fresh out of the unit. Both Partition Master and fdisk found a small Fat 32 partition on the drive but could not read it.
The W98 system would read the drive on boot up but not in windows.
When I put the drive in the W2k box and booted the system, W2k insisted on running scandisk on the drive. It found several unreadable sectors on the small Fat 32 partition. Wouldn't read the rest of the drive. When the system booted the system would not read the drive.

I think that Panasonic is doing some weird things with the drive to make sure you can't record a one time viewing movie or protected content and move the drive to the computer and copy it.

I'll put up another post with the file structure that EZ Disk Recovery found on the disk that gave me the U99 error. In case anyone wants to continue the quest.
Any info that is learned, I would appreciate it being posted here as I archived the saved files for future use if a solution becomes available.
