I am already starting to go bald and it looks like Im about to loose
more hair.For my son decided that it would be really fab to get a 40GB
hard drive. my problem is one that others have had but cannot seem to
rectify myself.
3.1 hd toolbox says 4GB then half way starts counting up again. ok so
this is because of the limit right?
3.5 hd toolbox then just shows the same amount of space but displays
it properly ,about 8GB.
I have used an old program in the past to get old pc HDs to work
called RDprep, but this is complaining of errors that I have to fix
using its complex mode. (gulp)
By blindly altering the numbers I managed to get 15GB but thats not
40GB
MAXTOR 34098H4 revision YAH8
Bytes per block 512
blocks pertrack 63
heads 16
cylinders 16383
total blocks 16514064
error-------------cylinder blocks 272
interleave 1
rdblow 3
rdbhi 271
error------------ min cylinder 1
max cylinder 29872
Is there a better program out there or is the drive faulty?
help much appreciated
