- Just buy a new CP-30174E IDE drive
- it's 4 heads,46 sectors. "1806" tracks ===> 170 MB (by the spec.sheet
- d/l from Conner BBS)
- my system 386-33, 12/24/90 AMI bios.
-
- the problem is : fdisk only found 92 MB ?(dos v5)
- and if I use Disk Manager v5 ,I have to partition some of them as
- "READ-WRITE" which are non-dos partition--->window won't run because
- smartdrive said it's incompatiable partition.
-
- Anyone know what might be done ?
- Is it cylinders larger than 1024 ?
