If you boot off the "utilities" or whatever disk that came with the HD, then proceed as if you were going to re-format it, it should report to you the interleave factor. It may be buried in some dialog somewhere, perhaps under a menu like "Drive Parameters," but it should be there. I know that Rodime, UniMac, Crate, and GigaCell software all have this feature; I would consider it very likely that yours does, as well. <chaz> -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chaz Larson - clarson@ux.acs.umn.edu "Hey, I'm no Jack Kennedy..." - Flaming Carrot ----------------------------------------------------------------------
