Reversion to manufacturer specification
Hi,
Last year I converted my hard drive to NFTS format but would like to restore to its original specification. The hard-drive showed the following specifications which is different from the (manufacturer): Cylinder 28,733 (16.383); Head 16(16) Precomp 0(0); and Sector 255(63). If I remember correctly, I used partition magic software to convert it. I doesn't seem to reconvert when I tried earlier on, perhaps I misunderstood the procedure. I would appreciate any help to revert the present specification to the original, then reinstall the operating system. Look forward to hearing from you soon. |

I doesn't seem to reconvert when I tried earlier on, perhaps I misunderstood the procedure. The OS conversion is one way only. I would appreciate any help to revert the present specification to the original, then reinstall the operating system. Thats easy enough, if you dont want the data thats on the drive. You dont say which particular OS you are talking about but the XP install just gives you the option of how to format the drive very early on in the install. |
