drive geometry problems
Wow, I have had a terrible week.
So I decide to install vector linux on my machine. During the installation, it finds out the kernel has been corrupted on the CD. Sucks to be me. So I try to install windows 2k. Installation fails. So I move onto EVERY OTHER LINUX DISTRO IN EXISTANCE. Redhat, madrake, slack, college, vector, peanut, damn small, yellowdog, jamd, debian, TSL, suse...all installations fail. Well somehow I seem to have messed up my drive geometry, or so jamd linux tells me.
I go into bios, but cant find anything on changing drive geometries. I searched under IDE peripherals options, all this stuff...maybe I missed it? It says it should be 19852/16/63 rather than whatever I had..
ANyway, what should I do about these drive problems? Oh, and I tried putting in a differnt HDD I had laying around, and it gave me the same errors. I think the problem is with the BIOS and not the actual hardware.
