How do I convert the [cylinder,head,sector] number that I get from the 'xp' device driver into the [cylinder,head,offset,length] that 'xpformat' need? Is it just as simple as multiplying the sector size as selected on the drive with the sector number to get the 'offset', and using the sector size * 8 as the 'length' factor? -- Peter Eriksson pen@lysator.liu.se Lysator Computer Club ...!uunet!lysator.liu.se!pen University of Linkoping, Sweden "Seize the day!"
