Can any of you tell me if my Bios auto detected my hard drive correctly..?
This is written on the hard drive itself:
(CHS) 16,383 Cylinders 16 heads 63 sectors
40079088 addressible sectors
This is what was autodetected in my bios:
Capacity 20521
Cylinder 39761
Head 16
Precomp 0
Landing Zone 39760
Sector 63
I'm running the KA7-100 motherboard by the way.. with a 900 MHz AMD Athlon..
Is all that correct? I tried formatting tonight and it got 1% complete then
just went off on it's usual, "Trying to recover allocation unit ##,###". It
started at 0 obviosuly, then made it's way all the way up to "Tying to
recover allocation unit 30,000+".. I've gathered I shouldn't get this
message so I terminated the format with a ctrl alt del..
Throw me some ideas on whats wrong if you can. Thanks a lot
