I need a program that gives me the # of heads, sectors and all that other happy stuff so i can set it up in the bios..
The computer is a gateway... about 10 years old and someone drop kicked it off a table, and messed up the bios...
It still boots and everything runs fine on it, I just gotta setit up in the bios cause it gives an error, and hit F1 and it will load.
And I Need one fast!

What is the model number of the hard drive - I have a book I can look it up in for you. Also there is a program (can't remember the name) on the windrivers site that should work for you.
Someone just emailed me two ID programs. I will forward them to you. Ignore if you already have them.
Thanks
i used to go to a site called "the ref" or something like that... but all i do now is throw the customers drive into one of our other systems and write down the cyl/hd/sect from the auto detect feature.
PGA, Please do send the URL...Quote:
