In the part of Disc Setup fill in the SCSI ID (0), Heads 0 and Sectors also
0. With a utility called Norton utilities or Checkit pro it's possible to
check what kind of HD you have. Afterwards change the fields Heads and
Sectors, although it's not necessary to fill in the actual values. I am using
my HD always with Heads 0 and Sectors 0 without any problems. If you really
want to know the heads and sectors, check your HD. Open it and count the
heads and sectors or read the information on the label on the HD (if
available). If you have access to a BBS you could also try to find your info
there or call IBM.
