You should have specific parameters to make I/A think the drive is the proper size: When formatting the drive all parameters are left at their default value except these Cylinders: 7506 Heads: 19 Sect: 248 Rpm: 7200 Hope this helps, Regards Ron Deen Invensys -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Dale Gillis Sent: 30 March 2004 23:57 To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] Hard Drive Problems in 51B Hello list, I searched the archives a little bit but could not come up with a direct answer to my question, which is? Can you install a Fujitsu Model MAS3184NC Hard Drive in a model 51B Box???? This is a 18.4GB. Here is what I've sone so far.... I was able to boot up from cdrom on Ver 6.2 Day0 CDROM. Then I enetered the format menu and tried formatting the Drive. I was successfull in doing so and I even let it do both verification checks. Then when I try an ia_install script I get an error telling me about "Get_Size" error and the script stops. In the archives I see where people have edited the format.dat files to include their hard disk specs. I tried but was unsucessfull. If anyone knows of a easy way out there to accomplish this could you please reply??
