I could be wrong about this; I'm no expert. I have a PD-CD drive, and early Linux drivers would detect and use it (I could mount it and read/write), but fdisk couldn't handle it (to change partitions for example). The fix was to pass the gemeotry as a boot parameter. I added this to lilo.conf: append="hdc=634,64,32" #append="hdc=cylinders,heads,sectors" (For device /dev/hdc obviously) Maybe this would help? -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
