i have a new quantum lct20 30gig drive that i used to back up my tivo disk. when my ibm drive crashed last weekend, i thought i'd temporarily use the quantum drive in its place. well, i went to fdisk and format it but the drive appeared as an 8 meg drive! i remembered something about a lock feature on the original tivo drive that might have gotten cloned onto this drive, so i ran western digital's dlgchk utility. and upon restart the full disk size is now visible. so i fdisk and format and install win98 and everything is fine, right? wrong. after i shut down and power back up, my system won't boot... and the quantum drive appears as an 8meg drive again. i boot to floppy and run dlgchk then restart... and everything is fine again. so, how do i get rid of whatever is locking this drive everytime power is cycled? please help.
