    I checked the settings in BIOS and they were:

                                              CYLS           HEADS
PRECOMP    LAND ZONE    SECTORS        MODE
    Drive C:User(430Mb)    4970               16                   65535
4969                 63               Normal


    I believe these are the same values I put in 2 years ago and the drive
worked fine at that time (except bad spots appearing on disk).


    >I then used Seagate Disk Wizard to install and partition the drive, and
it
succeeded. Going back into FDISK, the whole drive was visible.

    How did you get Disc Wizard (I got this with the new hard drive and the
old drive that I just returned) to work in DOS mode? I try to use it and it
says I have to run in Windows.
