It was partitioned as 1 10M and 2 32M (Some space lost due to the fact that the BIOS was told the drive had 7 heads, when it has 9. The DOS partition [10M] lost room due to this.) To use Spinrite, I booted a floppy WITH DM on it to do the 2 32M partitions. I booted a floppy WITHOUT DM to do the 10M DOS partition (Spinrite complained that the CMOS was wrong, which was sort-of correct.) --------------- Andrew Rossmann | Sysop of Infoplus BBS, +1 708 537 0247 andyross@infopls.chi.il.us | Infoplus Support, latest version available ..!uunet!ddsw1!infopls!system| by logging in as infoplus.
