- I've just gone through a lot of work to screw up my second hard drive
- on my Interactive 3.0 system. Could someone help me get it back to normal?
-
- My first hard drive is about 320 megs. My second is about 720. I did
- a stupid thing with the dd command and now my second drive thinks it's the
- same as the first. The second drive is supposed to have 1031 cylinders but
- it tells me it has only about 900. I took the machine apart and tried to
- install the system on just what was the second drive. It thinks this drive
- is now 320 megs and it won't let me change it. It's only half the drive it
- used to be.
-
- How can I change this drive to think it has the correct number of
- cylinders?
