Hi, I just pulled a Conner CFP4207S 4.2 GB hdd out of a machine with a Adaptec 1542CF and put it in one with an Adaptec 2940. On bootup, the 2940 complained about the partitioning geometry 4096/64/16 not being compatible with booting or something, and it should be 1024/255/16. This message is followed by a 'Press any key to boot' message. The 2940 is in a production machine, so I could not leave the disk in there regardless, in case an unattended reboot was needed. I had a look in the Adaptec BIOS menus for ignoring that check, and I had a quick attempt to change the disk partitioning, but both failed. Can anyone tell me how to fix the disk or the adaptor, please. Thanks, Danny
