In reference to the above subject, I am trying to figure out how to
go about installing it. I posted once but it seems that my post
didn't make it out due to system problems.
Here's some info:
Machine: Protek XT clone
OS: MS-DOS 4.01
Drives: Seagate ST225 (works fine)
Seagate ST251-1 (with bad track 0, not installed)
360K floppy
Controller: Western Digital WD1004A-WX1 Winchester Disk
Controller Board
I've downloaded the file TRAK0BAD.ARC from wuarchive and I realize
that it is still usable, but it mainly deals with drives that already
exist in a machine. Should I just do a low-level format and use the
fdisk program to partition it accordingly?
Thanks in advance for any help.

The only success that I have had with HDs with a bad track 0, was using Seageate's DiskManager software. It seemed to clear up the bad track 0. Then I would go back and use FDISK. -- __________________________________________________________ Ken Isacson Sysop - Board Of Trade BBS GT 016/001 kji@vpnet.chi.il.us (815) 753 - 0042 ----------------------------------------------------------
