I have a Western Digital Caviar 2120 Drive
which is a 125meg IDE.  I cannot get it to
format correctly.  It has stamped on the
front as having 872 cyl, 8 head, but when
I tell my Bios this Fdisk thinks it is a
56.7 meg.  When I set it to similiar
settings as my Seagate 125meg I can format
it to the correct size but it is not
bootable....can someone help?
