hard drive set up problem
« on: December 16, 2005, 07:19:48 PM »
Hi all
I have just put a hitachi 4.1gb hard drive in my amiga 1200 and i am trying to set it up with a program called microbotics hardframe utility that i got with the amiga.
My problem is when setting up the hard drive i get an error in the standard mode so have to set it up in complex mode the error is i have to enter the number of usable blocks in a cylinder (1 to 1).
Bytes per block is 512
Blocks per track is 63
Heads is 16
Cylinders are 7944
Total blocks are 8007552
Can someone tell me how to work out the cylinder blocks so i can continue and get this hard drive set up.
many thanks in advance.
