Hi,

Appreciate if someone can help me on how to configure a 1.7 GB hard disk.

I got into a lot of problems with the installation:

- fdisk on linux complain a different physical/logical CHS.
- when I reconfigure the CHS with the x option in fdisk, the partition
   created was not usable, it gives a lot of duplication/bad blocks error
   errors returns even after fsck.

Please if someone can give me a pointer to the problem.

Andrew
