 BL>   It amounts to the same thing if you run LBA and fsdisk, doesn't it?
 BL> I thought that was what LBA did: change all the addresses. The data is

in theory, there should be no problem with accessing the data either way
unless the bios has the wrong disk geometry. there are some problems also
with the lba algorithms with some bioses, from memory, western digital's is
suspect.
