I ran into this with WinNT4, trying to use disc images bigger than 1023/16/63 (504Mb). My workaround to this has to always specify the -hdachs settings, in my case 4092/16/63 for a nearly 2Gb disc. With a completely blank disc image, its internals returned 4092/16/63, but after partitioning and formatting, it used 1023/64/63, which clashed with the old settings which were used at the time of writing the boot sector. To confuse the issue further, specifying -hdachs 1023/64/63 caused the NT installer to freeze for a bit, then claim the disc was unusable... -- -- Michael "Soruk" McConnell Eridani MailStripper - http://mailstripper.eridani.co.uk - Uncovers Everything! ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
