I am trying to reconfigure my primary hard drive to the proper specs and can not find a copy of "speedstore" or a disk manager that has the right parameters, (1024 cyl, 8 heads, 17 sec/trk). It seems as if the only solution I have it to fiddle CMOS using the cmos command to plug in the correct values. BUT.... I don't know how to interpret the addresses/values to their human meaning. Can anyone help out? Thanks for any help..... scotty root@ozdaltx Output from cmos(C) Address value 0 31 10 20 20 0 30 0 1 0 11 0 21 0 31 18 2 22 12 4f 22 0 32 19 3 0 13 0 23 0 33 80 4 18 14 31 24 0 34 0 5 0 15 80 25 0 35 0 6 3 16 2 26 0 36 0 7 29 17 0 27 0 37 0 8 10 18 18 28 0 38 0 9 90 19 0 29 0 39 0 a 26 1a f 2a 0 3a 0 b 3 1b 0 2b 0 3b 0 c 50 1c 0 2c 0 3c 0 d 80 1d 0 2d 0 3d 0 e 0 1e 0 2e 1 3e 0 f 0 1f 0 2f 49 3f 0
