I have an old drive (all 80MB of it) that is perfectly usable but it has a staggering transfer rate of 700k/s. It gets detected in a modern system as well as an old system. But, the hardware detects with different parameters (C/H/S). So the only way to fix it and make it readable was to plug it in the old system or read of the C/H/S numbers from the drive. Plug it in the new system and set the C/H/S explicitly on linux's command line... Then I think it might have a btter chance of working. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
