(for an adaptec this is usually 64 heads, 32 sectors.. use boot: -v to see exactly what) and then allow it to automatically calculate the beginning and end sectors/cylinders/heads after just accepting the default figures for the BSD partition. (run fdisk several times first to get used to it, but always answering 'NO' to the last question when it asks if it should write out the new MBR) > > > > >> Gennady B.
