 I seem to have screwed up a disk drive.  I have a Maxtor 8760s 676 Meg.
 hard drive.  The problem is that it only thinks it has about 300 megs.
 Somehow i managed to change the information on the disk that says how
 many cylinders it has.  The only way I thought I could change it was
 through installing our interactive unix on it.  There is a step in the
 install that ask if you would like to change the info.  When i tried,
 it told me the controller would not allow me to change the cylinder
 information.  

    How can I make this scsi disk know how many cylinders it really has?
