My hard drive has been screwed up for almost a week now. I downloaded the file 'pfdisk.exe' from the FreeBSD ftp site, and it reads the disk geometry as only 25 cylinders when in fact it is 1050. I think this is why DOS fdisk reports that my hard drive is only 12MB instead of 516MB. This all happened after I tried to install FreeBSD and erased my DOS primary partition. Is there any suggestions as to how I may ressurect my hard drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris
