Hard Disk Setup Problem - I Need Help

I am trying to install a miniscrib hard disk on a 286 board.  The setup software
that that I am using has different preset parameters but none of these parameters
matches the hard drive I have.  Is there a way to manually enter these parameters
(maybe using debug) or do I need a more advanced setup software?
The harddisk I have is a Miniscribe Cyl 771, HD 4, Pre 128, PZ 810, Sec 26
Size 39.  It was orginally in a Packard Bell computer.

Thanks in advance...

Ruth
