Hi Bob,

BL>  Whoops! That was lucky.

BL>  My new motherboard gives me a choice for the Conner drive: normal or
BL> large. I happened to write down the previous numbers (I accidentally
BL> printed them out and stuck them on the inside of the case), so I
BL> made sure it was using those numbers before I let 'er rip.

If you configured it with the same geometry then you would be okay.

BL> Is there any advantage is using the "large" numbers on the drive?

Only if your drive has more than 1024 cylinders.

BL>  BTW, I think Paul showed great courage in swapping motherboards and
BL> OS without backing up the hard disc.

Personally, I think he showed what a fuckwit he is.

Regards, Brenton
