Hello Folks,
I'm about to reformat my 1gb drive and will reinstall Windows95 and also
add Linux. I realize that Linux, like DOS, needs to boot below cylinder
#1024 on my drive.
Is there a way of finding out what cylinder number I'm at when I go to
set my partition sizes so I know that I've got Linux below the 1024 limit?
Some specifics about my drive:
Cavier AC3100 2100 cyliners, 16 Heads, 63 Sectors, LZ=0. No write precomp.
Any help would be most appreciated.
