Boot your machine with a linux disk and use that to make a small linux partition at the beginning, then format the rest to windows and you *might* be able to salvage it. (Windows will ignore the partition and think the drive starts "later") I knew a guy once that would actually take the sticker off the right hole and adjust the screw to move the heads out a bit. What a hillbilly! But that smart man always had the most MEGABYTES (Like 80-160 MB) because at that time I found a drive in computer shopper (when it looked like a NY phone book, anyone that old around here? :-) ) I paid $269 for a 40 MB and everyone I knew got one too, it was so cheap. |
