My hard disk has the following characteristics: Western Digital 40MB IDE, model# WD95044-A 977 cylinders 5 heads 17 sectors/track Thanks to Eric Haug for the advice to narrow down this problem. Suggestions from anyone else are welcome via email: zof@wubcl.wustl.edu Thank you. -- J. Adam Szofran Internet: zof@wubcl.wustl.edu Electrical Engineering Student Phone: (314) 362-2135
