Ok, some dude screwed up a ladies computer and now the anchor is on my floor as usual.
It is an OLD PC AMDK6, just a few sticks of miniscule RAM (48MB total or something), tiny HD, and several basic PCI cards, graphics, network, sound, USB.
Now I noticed after reformatting and starting a WIN98 install, the scan came up with the LBA warning and won’t perform a surface scan without a zillion failed blocks. From what I understand, LBA was an older technology used to recognoze larger hard drives using the 48 bit file system.
Does ANYONE have experience here? I’m sure it’s a common A+ thing, how do I get scan disk and suface check around this? If it is a smaller drive do I still need to use LBA? Can it be changed and how/where?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
OM
