I got a serious problem on formatting my Conner CFS1081A HD on my PC. The 
configuration is as follows:-

� P5-120MHz CPU with 32MB RAM and 512K SRAM cache.
� ASUS P55TP4XE motherboard with Award 4.05G BIOS coded 401A0-0106 (This info. 

is from boot up screen)

BIOS can detect the setting of CFS1081A and provide three types of choice, 
LBA, NORMAL and LARGE. BIOS translate LBA mode to CYLS=524, HEAD=64 and 
SECTOR=63. This is only HD I have and already set the appropriate jumper on 
it. (Close C/D jumper for master HD)

First time I used MSDOS FDISK (ver6.22) to partition my HD, it can report the 
capacity and let me partition to 1GB for one drive. Then I executed "FORMAT C: 

/S" at DOS prompt. It reported "Try to recover allocation unit xxx" where xxx 
is the number incrementing while formatting. I startled and stopped the 
operation at once by pressing Ctrl-Brk, restarted the PC and back to FDISK 
again. This time it reported "No space for partition" even the setting becomes 

NONE (Blank entry) by pressing option 4 (display setting of HD). That is FDISK 

cannot determine the capacity of HD, partition info., how many partitions are 
there, etc. 

Then I tried to use OS/2 Warp installation disk to "retrieve" my HD info. 
Although it can retrieve my HD info., the error reported, "SYS0045: Sector not 

found�.", during formatting. 

I startled again and tried hard to find your Disk Manager v7.11 to detect my 
HD configuration. It seems report correctly. So I would like to know which 
steps I went wrong and please help me to fix it? Do I need to use low-level 
format utility to format the disk again? If so, where I can find one? Please 
help!! Please help! Thanks in advance!
