This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_01BC2581.189D4460 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I reciently was given an old 386dx25 computer. Seems that someone formatted the hard drive from the ROM DIAGNOSTICS and since then c: drive can't be found. On bootup it says that Drive Not Ready and if I use a boot disk in A drive then try to go to C drive it says Invalid Drive Specification. In the Rom Diagnostics I can do Seek Time tests and Read/Write/Verify tests and it will work and you can hear the HD working. The HD is a Western Digital 280... The settings that are marked on the top of the drive are as follows..... 47 - 980 - 10 - 863 - 979 - 17 - 81 Why can't I access this drive? Are the numbers wrong? What can I do to revive this drive? Please send any help to shsound@ican.net Thank you in advance for taking the time to help me, Shawn ------=_NextPart_000_01BC2581.189D4460 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><head></head><BODY bgcolor=3D"#FFFFFF"><p><font size=3D2 = color=3D"#000000" face=3D"Arial">I reciently was given an old 386dx25 = computer.
