George, I looked the drive up today…it's a "zoned" drive, that is on some tracks…it has 26 sectors per track, on other tracks, it has 36. It does have 6 heads. Larry Glamb left you a configuration that should work: 6 heads 20 sectors per track 1708 cylinders (numbered 0 thru 1707) Again, the exact configuration doesn't matter, only the number of total sectors. However ALL partitions MUST show the same numbers for their configuration…the only difference would be the starting and ending cylinder numbers. If you don't do that, you'll end up with overlapping partitions and eventuall you will run into problems. Don
