Reply-To: peter@taronga.com Organization: NeoSoft Communications Services -- (713) 684-5900 Date: Mon, 24 May 1993 11:39:28 GMT Message-ID: <C7J4Dt.A1A@sugar.NeoSoft.COM> Lines: 14 Well, I've been trying to get bad144 turned on on my ESDI drives for months and I still get the same errors on boot up: a hard read error on the bad sector map itself. Now, the 'c' and 'd' partitions cover the map, and I can read and write it just fine... at least when I read I read the same thing I wrote. This happens on wd0 and wd1, and it happens even when I adjust the diskmap to 1221 cylinders instead of 1222 (and adjust 'c' and 'd' to match). Any ideas? -- Peter da Silva. <peter@sugar.neosoft.com>. `-_-' Har du kramat din varg idag? 'U` "Det er min ledsager, det er ikke drikkepenge."
