Summary: Thanks for the info but why are there different answers? Thank you for your responses. Here are the answers I got: Total Cylinders: 809 Total Heads: 6 Write Precomp Cyl: 128 or 300 Reduced Write Start Cyl:810 or 852 Max Correctable Burst: 11 CCB Option byte: 7 or 5 I used the first set of numbers. I'm not sure why I get different numbers from different people. Are the differences great enough that I should reformat again? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In Real Life: Michael Nowak Via Internet: mike@ronin.cc.umich.edu Via UUCP: uunet!umix!ronin.cc.umich.edu!mike Working for but in no way representing the University of Michigan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
