Hi,

I don't know why, but I seem to have problems with setting up a 250 gig
maxtor hard drive. I think that I am going to try over again with another
drive (just to rule out the drive as the problem). I just want to make
sure that I have the hard drive geometry setup right in HDtoolbox. I can
look at the geometry of the drive that I am using with disklabel, but
without physical access, I can't look at what is in HDtoolbox.

Here is the output of the disklabel:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 128
tracks/cylinder: 63
sectors/cylinder: 8064
cylinders: 60793
total sectors: 490234752

Thanks,
Al
