Hello everbody
Since I had the same difficulties installing my new WDC =

early this like Wayne ...
=2E... I would like to your your advice and suggestions regarding =

the settings in the BIOS:

My present BIOS settings look like following

BIOS - Standard CMOS Features:
-> IDE Primary Slave: WSC400EB-00CPF0
AUTO / LBA
40018 MB
CYL 4865
HEAD 255
PRECOMP 0
LZ 19157
SECTOR 63

BIOS - Integrated Periphery:
Slave Drive PIO Mode =3D AUTO

What do I need to watch with these settings ?

What are the must avoid ??
What are the should / must do ??

Can somebody of you exactly specify what and why =

to the respective settings parameters ???

With my other question regarding the choice of =

HDD's with OS/2 I have gotten positive answers =

only with so many brands and types of HDD that =

I am sure that I DO make a mistake with some =

of my settings here !!!

TWO more question:

1) Can I just change the BIOS settings from LBA to CHS =

without risking the lost of my data !?

BTW: On my experimantal system I just tried this !
All HDD's were set from LBA to CHS with the result =

that the system does not boot anymore ;-(

Setting only the boot disk back to LBA and the other =

2 HDD's still leaving on CHS, the system boots again =

with NO problems ;-)

2) Does the cache size of 2MB or 8MB any negative =

affects to OS/2 ??? What must one watch reagarding =

this ???
=

Your advice and suggestions are very appreciated =

and welcome !

Kind regards, svobi
