- I have followed the "won't boot from HD after installo
- because of geometry change" thread with interest, as I have
- a disk that fails boot from HD in a similar fashion. I know
- the hardware mostly works, since I tried a build on
- a Conner CP3544 (before it went and died, boo!) and it would boot fine.
-
- I'm not even sure what this things actual geometry is! Perhaps this
- info needs to get stuffed into the BIOS user-defined disk?
-
- Is anyone else running this disk?
- Config: ALR Business VEISA (386-33+cachepack)
- 17Mb ram, WD8003E, other junk.
- Help!
