After 2 days of formatting and copying, my new 120GB drive is finally up and running properly. My old drive suddenly decided to spend the rest of its days screaming (I think that's what it was doing), so it had to go (it was either the harddrive or my mind). Anyway, I've finally finished the torturous task of formatting and filling a 120GB drive through the A1200's lightning fast IDE interface, and I discovered a mistake. As with my previous large harddrive, HDToolbox failed to read it's specifications properly (cutting it to a laughable 18,8 GB), so I had to figure that out for myself. I see now that I made a mistake. The heads are now set to rest at sylinder 170000, while there is only some 156-157 thousand sylinders. I was wanting to change this, but HDToolbox warns me that editing these settings will erase the disk. Does anybody know if this is actually true? I don't want to risk finding out the hard way.
Any help would be appreciated.
