Date: 28 Oct 1994 00:05:14 GMT Organization: University of California, Santa Barbara Lines: 18 Message-ID: <38pf7r$r0b@ucsbuxb.ucsb.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: mcl.ucsb.edu Okay, I have a HD w/ greater than 1024 cylinders and if I try to install it after my dos partition I get the missing operator system. Now, I heard that you run the program called pfdisk and thatb will tell you different numbers to put in for the geometry. I tried it and it still didn't work. While it was installing it would say "wd0: can't..." something about the 64 heads that pfdisk said my HD had and that it would cahnge it back to 16. But it would just keep repeating it. WHY? Thanx for all your help.. Loren -- || Loren Daniel Koss || Three tomatos are walking down the steet: Papa || || Computer Science || tomato, mama tomato, and baby tomato.
