40 gig hdd how to
« on: January 21, 2004, 04:38:28 PM »
Oke here is the deal.

I have a 40 gb harddisk.

Samsung SV4012H

Cylinders 1024
head 255
Sectors 63
chs Cap 40060
lba 8104.


Here is my problem.
How do I get this info:

Blocks per track ?
Blocks per cylinder ?
Park head where ?

Is it even possible to install this hdd on my amiga 1200

The Get drive geometry only works if I select scsi drive.
It is a IDE drive but it only works in scsi modus.

I formated it and it looks oke :D
You guy's are the greatest.
Any idea why I can only partition the first 8 gb ?

When i do Get drive geometry It detects a

Samsung
SV4012H
RM10
cylinder 16383
heads 16
blocks per track 63
blocks per cylinder 1008
park head where 16383

When I type these details in XT drive I get
Wrong type for drive, use xt types
