I just replaced my 10 MB Seagate (ST-412) with a new 20 MB ST-225 on my 
5 year old IBM PC-XT.   The hard disk controller is a full length card made
by IBM.  I have no documentation on this controller or anything else connected
with this PC since it was already here when I took this job.  I can't get the
new drive operational.  C: gives the message "Invalid drive specification."
Fdisk gives the message "Error reading fixed disk."  Does anybody have any 
ideas?  Possibly needs a low-level format?


Thank you very much,
