I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a hard drive that I dont know
how to set the settings. It's a Rodime 22MB 5.25 FH ST506/412 MFM. It has 640
cyls 4 hds and in dos it has 17 sec/trk. I dont know what to set the inittbl
number to and when I get it to take a format from hdformat, it goes through the
format sequence and then asks if I want a physical verify. I answer yes and
then it starts to show the sector list on the screen. After a while when it
gets to about 47F, it starts to pop error 241s. After this if I try to do a
dir, it gives me a 214. All help would be appreciated.
