Hi there. I'm looking for the parameters to setup a new WD Caviar hard drive I just bought. My CMOS doesn't have it defined so I tried to install it as a User Type with no luck. The parameters I have are: Cyl. Head Pre. LZ Sectors 1010 12 0 0 55 The problem I first get is the fact that my CMOS askes for WPCom not Pre. Not being the world's greatest Computer user, I'm not sure if these are the same thing. Anyway, If anyone can help it would be appreciated. Also if anyone can point me in the direction of an updated CMOS that would be great too. Mine is from 1990. One last thing. The original hard drive I have installed is a Maxtor 41M. Does anyone know if it can be used in a master/slave config with the WD? And if so which jumpers I need to set to use it as the master (or slave). Anyway thanks for any and all help! -Dan -- *************************************************************** * flash@ac.dal.ca * REALITY is for * * rjohnson@ug.cs.dal.ca * people who lack * * djohnson@moon.sba.dal.ca * IMAGINATION!!! *
