Phil: Here's the stats for my 240 LPS, as reported by ExpertPrep:
Lo Cyl: 1 Hi Cyl: 2662 Heads: 4 Sectors: 65
Formatted Size: 234 MB Blocks: 479350
Buffer Memory: 32 DMA Mask: 0xFFFFFFFE Max Transfer: 0x7FFFFFFF
I'd suggest using ExpertPrep and use the following commands:
UnPrep Hard Drive Low Level Format
You should then be able to page thru the text field to add your partition
name(s) etc. Then use:
Write This Setup folllowed by AmigaDos Format
Unles there's a fault in the drive (you can also try a Bad-Block ReMap) this
should get you up and running with a fresh drive.
All of this ASSUMING you've given up trying to save any data on the drive.
***The above noted procedure will DESTROY ALL DATA on the hard drive***
The program will warn you as well.
Hope this helps!
Trent
