Hi,
	I just installed a new hardisk into my computer, however, I am having
problems to get it running:

1.	Equipments:  Award BIOS, 386 compatible.  HD in question:  Microscience
120MB/RLL HD.  The HD has 1314 cylinders (>1024 !!)

2.	I have successfully installed the hardware, without seeing smoke,
everything seems to be working.  Then, I used Debug to invoke the low
level formatting routing in my DTK RLL controller.  So everything goes
smoothly, until completed the low level formatting.

3.	After (2), I suppose I am to run FDISK, then follow by FORMAT.  
However,  in the FDISK shell, I am unable to get FDISK to recognize by newly
installed drive, receiving the "invalid drive" error message.

Someone out there can help me?  E-mail response appreciated.


Casey
