I recently purchased my 4'th hard disk (the other 3 died).  It was formatted
for me when I picked it up from the shop.  They set the write-precomp at
cyl=128.  After checking the specs for my drive from the manufacturer they
say that there is no write pre-comp necessary.  Is this a problem?  Can you
change the setting without formatting?  BTW I have a DTC disk controller.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rob Wallen.
