- I have a Western Digital Caviar 2120 Drive
- which is a 125meg IDE. I cannot get it to
- format correctly. It has stamped on the
- front as having 872 cyl, 8 head, but when
- I tell my Bios this Fdisk thinks it is a
- 56.7 meg. When I set it to similiar
- settings as my Seagate 125meg I can format
- it to the correct size but it is not
- bootable....can someone help?
