Hello, I tried to install 2.1.5 onto 4 GB micropolis. The partition editor told me that the geometry was incorrect, and that it took default values. I tried to modify the geometry thru G option, by giving the values from Micropolis (3956/19/139) but the message was still displayed ! Then I installed a small dos bootable partition and when I tried again the installation, there wasn't any more error message about the geometry, but it displayed :522/255/63 (255 heads !?) and now it works fine. But is it correct with this geometry ? Isn't there a risk for potential problems later ? Thanks in advance if someone can help me to understand what happened ! Best regards, Jean-Marc BOTTURA
