On the 19/05/96, Brenton waffled to Paul..

 Hello Brenton,

 PE> the old 540 meg drive, and everything is fine, with LBA support
 PE> (but still "large") and it appears on boot manager.

 BV> You *should* have made sure that it read Standard or Normal.
 BV> If you select anything other than Normal, then you will have to redo
 BV> the partition tables and reformat the drives. If you have written
 BV> ANYTHING to the drives, they are fucked and you'll have to redo the
 BV> entire lot from the FDISK stage.

 Only if he is lucky - I had one a week or so ago where a 1gig
 drive would not format over 30 megs, no matter what I deleted
 and changed around in FDISK. In the end, I zeroed out the first
 few sectors using a disk editing tool.

 I assume that was caused by the LBA switch - of course I only
 get _partial_ information. The rest they don't tell you.

 Dieter
