I have a HD with the geomety 2114 cyl 16 heads and 63 sector, ie 1040 megs.

I want to split the HD 50/50 with Win95 and Netbsd.
I have had it working but with only half a hard disk, 1023 secotrs, ie using
STANDARD mode.

However to I want to use the whole HD, ie in LBA mode.

Can anyone tell me how to do this

Thanks Darryl
