FDisk in sysinstall tells me that the disk geometry for my HDD is incorrect and I should enter it manually. Fdisk advises to use CHS (Cylinder/Heads/Sectors) settings from BIOS Setup. BIOS Setup gives me the following numbers: Cyl - 1204 Heads - 255 Sectors - 63 CHS capacity - 8422 MB Maximum LBA capacity - 82348 MB Numbers on the top of HDD disk itself give the following: Cyl - 16383 Heads - 16 Sectors - 63 So, what "magic" numbers should I enter into Sysinstall's Fdisk?
