- Does anyone know how many sectors to use when setting up the volume
- header for a WREN IX drive? Is there an easy way to figure it out?
-
- I already know (from vendor data) that the disk has 15 heads (tracks)
- and 2574 cylinders. It has 2200 unformatted MB, and 1900 formatted MB.
- I want to install this on Sunday, so I appreciate timely responses.
-
- I would also appreciate any hints on repartitioning the disk, in terms
- of what would be legal/illegal for the new entries. I would like to
- get something with 3 partitions, one of 1.0 GB, one of 750-800 MB and
- one of 200-250 MB.
-
-
- Thanks in advance.
