I'm trying to get Svend Olaf's Setsize.exe to regain the native capacity
of a Seagate drive without success. Can someone give me any idea what
I'm doing wrong?
The drive is a Seagate ST320011A. According to Seagate's site, this is
a 20Gb drive. It's installed in a Compaq machine and is seen as a 10Gb.
DFT and Svend's IDENTIFY.EXE say the max LBA is 19541088. According to
Seagate's specs, the max LBA for the 20Gb unit is 39102335.
So I boot off a DOS 6.22 disk and try:
setsize pm native expert nonvolatile
setsize pm native 39102335 nonvolatile
both of which result in the following output:
"Major/minor: 003E 0000
New size too small.
Invalid new size.
Native sectors not correct.
NB"
Any hints, please? Have also tried the SET MAX ADDRESS feature of
Hitachi's DFT which reports that it cannot operate on this drive
(presumably because it's not an IBM/Hitachi unit.)
Thanks.
