#214450-WangDAT 6200?
Message #214541
OK, I called Rexxon/Wang/Tecmar and they confirmed that their tech who said that the 6200 is compatible with the 3100 was not telling the truth. No wonder this doesn't work. Can anyone tell me if Microsoft is considering a driver for these cheapo Wangtek 6200s? (I have MDN L2, is…

#212172-Unflag Bad Sectors?
Message #212179
make a boot disk that bypasses the troublesome root drive. basically need NTLDR, NTDETECT.com, NTBOOTDD.sys and boot.ini.. This should allow you to boot into NT and bypass boot drive. You then can mangle to your heart's content and then do a restore. – Bob Chronister, 70363,246 @ 24-Jun-1994, 09:02:03 CDT…

Bad sector un-flag?
Message #210776
I'm looking for a way to un-flag bad sectors on my DOS boot partition. The July version of WinNT malfunctioned several times on reboot because of my improperly terminated SCSI bus, and its version of 'chkdsk' runs on start-up, and it marked some sectors as bad when they actually aren't.…

Hi Joe, Your best bet is to have your SCSI BIOS enabled so that you will ensure proper operation with Windows NT. Windows NT uses the SCSI BIOS to determine the hard drive's geometry. It is this geometry that is essentially the definition of the hard drive attached to the…
