I was able to do that. Then I went back and looked at my Kingston - it has 5 "heads," 32 s/t and 99212 "cylinders." Now the question becomes, if I try that on the Sandisk, will it trash the drive altogether, or would I still be able to use it, or would that fail because there really isn't that much space on the "drive?" Yeah, I know, greedy me, I want squeeze every byte of storage out of the thing, but why not? Thanks. mhr PS: I'm also sending a query to Sandisk about this - I'll report if they tell me anything useful. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
