Thanks for the suggestion.

The Seagate documentation recommends:

  CHKDSK           Translation Geometry      CMOS
  Mbytes           Cyl    Heads Sec/Trk     Mbytes
   545.5          1057     16       63       520

And everything appears just this way in the CMOS set-up screen and also in 
the MSD report.

Also, the files in the useable part of the disk are fine, so any change 
which would alter the way the disk is accesses in low cylinders region

will clearly not access these files correctly after a change.

Any other ideas?
